As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, Baiduri Bank annually provides support to underprivileged students from various private schools in Brunei in the form of school fee sponsorship.

To mark the 2021 sponsorship drive, the Bank held two events for participating schools in Belait district, Tutong district and Brunei-Muara district. The first event took place on Wednesday 7 April 2021 at All Season’s Restaurant, KB Sentral for seven private schools in the Belait district. Receiving the donations on behalf of the students were the representatives from Chung Ching Middle School, Chung Hua Middle School, Chung Hwa School Labi, Chung Lian School, St Angela’s School, St John’s School and St Margaret’s School. Presenting the donations during this event was Ms Ng Yick Wei, Head of Group Strategic Marketing and Communications. Also attending the event were Baiduri Bank representatives from the Belait and Seria districts.

Today witnessed the donation presentation to private schools in Brunei-Muara and Tutong districts. The event took place at the Atrium, Baiduri Bank Headquarters. Present at the event were the principals and teachers from Chung Hwa Middle School, St Andrew’s School, St George’s School, Chung Hwa School Tutong and Chung Hwa School Kiudang. Presenting the donations to these schools was Mr Ti Eng Hui, Chief Executive Officer of Baiduri Bank.

In his welcome remarks, Mr Ti mentioned that the initiative first began during the Chinese New Year celebrations as part of the Bank’s efforts to give back to the community during the festive season. He further elaborated, “We hope this humble contribution from the Bank can help ease the burden of the students’ families and motivate them to achieve academic excellence, reach their full potential and contribute to society with their knowledge and skills.”

The sponsorship of school fees to private school students is in line with the Bank’s mission to enrich, empower and engage the communities it serves. The final presentation of donations will take place on Friday, 16 April 2021 at Pai Yuek School, Temburong.
