GAB Foundation recently contributed more than RM50,000 towards various causes in Malaysia as part of its ongoing community enrichment initiatives. RM10,000 was donated to SJK(T) Ladang Bukit Rajah in Klang in cash and also in the form of computers. The donation is one of the Foundation’s initiatives under its Community pillar which aims to actively contribute to the development of local communities.

Apart from that, the Foundation also made a separate donation of computers worth more than RM18,000 to SMK Seri Puteri in Ipoh last November after the school’s computer lab was destroyed by a storm. In the same month, GAB Foundation also contributed RM15,000 to ‘Persatuan Wanita Cina Perak’ to support the associations’ charity drive for orphanages and welfare homes.”
