CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
TAN SRI DATO’ SERI UTAMA
ARSHAD AYUB
Chairman, Board of Trustees
PINTAR Foundation
“The journey of a thousand miles starts with the
first step”, the philosopher Lao Tze once shared.
Up to now, Azhar’s world has revolved around
his home, his parents’ roadside food stall, his
school and his friends. He knew little, beyond
this boundary. Newspapers were read after
unwrapping the groceries; and watching
television at a neighbour’s house provided a
refreshing conduit into the world beyond.
His world expanded exponentially when a giant
blue bus trundled into the school one Monday
morning. Shortly after, his teacher herded his
class up into the blue behemoth and into another
dimension altogether. It was very unlike any
bus he’d seen. For one, it was air-conditioned.
Instead of seats, it had activity stations that
featured interesting gadgets and devices. He
was completely captivated and two facilitators
were at hand to nurture this spark of interest for
him and his classmates.
Little did Azhar know, but he had just taken his
first step.
02
It has been seven years since PINTAR Foundation was formed
and took its first steps as a non-profit organisation to facilitate
the outreach to students such as Azhar through the PINTAR
School Adoption Programme. Working in collaboration with
companies in Malaysia, the PINTAR Programme targets children
of underserved communities to inspire and motivate their
interest in learning, and help them to realise their potential.
At the inception of the PINTAR Programme, we envisaged
that the collective efforts of the PINTAR Foundation and its
member companies will culminate in contributing towards the
improvements in student performance, especially for schools
whose average passing rate of national examinations were below
65%. The PINTAR Programme had created a win-win situation
for all, as the schools benefit from the quality educational
programmes sponsored by these companies at their schools
and the companies benefit from being able to engage with the
communities that matter to them through a truly sustainable
corporate responsibility (CR) platform.
Aligned to national education agenda
Through the years, the PINTAR Programme has remained
relevant to the national education agenda and is aligned
with five out of the 11 strategic and operational shifts of the
Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 that offers a vision of
the desired education system and student aspirations that will
prepare our youths to meet the challenges of the 21st century
economy. PINTAR School Adoption Programme by companies
is a perfect example of the kind of Public-Private Partnership
(PPP) envisaged by Shift 9: Partner with parents, community,
and private sector at scale.
Enhancing the
Adopt-a-School Programme
The Ministry of Education launched the
PINTAR (Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing
Talent and Advocating Responsibility)
Programme in 2006 to encourage companies
to partner with underserved schools to
introduce new technologies, after-school
activities, literacy projects, education clinics
and motivational talks to their students. Going
forward, the Ministry will encourage more
corporate partners to join the programme and
more schools to receive sponsorship.
– Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025
Of interest to note is that most of the schools adopted by
PINTAR members are national schools in the rural areas. This
is a deliberate strategy by the Foundation and its members to
reach out to underperforming schools, particularly those in
rural areas, to address the rural-urban imbalance that invariably
exacerbates the gap that already exist.
In addition, the PINTAR Programme’s mandatory three-year
adoption period together with PINTAR’s four core modules —
motivational and team building; education support, capability
and capacity building; and reducing vulnerabilities and social
issues; fit in well in ensuring the sustainability of the programme
and impact on its beneficiaries. It is a solid CR platform that not
only complements the ongoing efforts of the MOE but reaches
out to these schools and students who would otherwise have
limited access to such programmes.
Engaging our stakeholders
Over the years, the Foundation has provided value and gained
the trust of its key stakeholders, amongst whom are teachers,
students, the MOE, state education departments (JPNs), and its
member companies.
In ensuring that we maintain our alignment with the MOE’s
targets and aspirations, our management team engages with
the respective state JPNs to maintain a strong professional
relationship with them and to understand better the issues on
the ground.
The Foundation also strives to provide more useful services
and value to our members so that the PINTAR Programme
can continue to make a positive impact and yield the desired
outcomes for our beneficiaries. We assist our member companies
by helping them shape a more structured contribution, identify
the right school that needs assistance and assess the needs of
the school but yet giving autonomy to the company to assume a
more direct and engaging role in supporting the selected school.
Collaborations
There are a number of organisations that have made it possible
for PINTAR students to secure access to holistic education
beyond the classroom.
Danajamin Nasional Berhad had continued their sponsorship of
the ‘Danajamin100 Leadership Programme’, a student leadership
programme which aims to develop the leadership potential of
students over a three-year period from Form 4 to pre-University
level. Allianz Malaysia Berhad sponsored an activity station
in a national programme, enabling students to learn about
financial management. A grant by The Asia Foundation enabled
the ‘Aflateen Financial Literacy Programme’, to be introduced
to PINTAR secondary schools, promoting social awareness and
financial management. The collaboration with the Construction
Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) gave PINTAR
schools the opportunity to participate in the ‘My City 2050
Competition’, a town-planning competition which stimulated
their students’ imagination and creative energy. We are indeed
proud of our students’ ability and confidence to compete with
others, including international schools.
Our members
When the PINTAR Programme was launched in 2006, 17
government-linked companies (GLCs) adopted 42 schools. Our
membership grew steadily over the years and at end 2015, we
had a total of 45 PINTAR members, comprising both GLCs and
private-sector companies. In 2015, eight companies came on
board as PINTAR Foundation members, doubling that of new
entrants in 2014. We extend our warmest welcome to Yayasan
Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin; UEM Group Berhad and four of its
subsidiaries – Cement Industries of Malaysia Berhad, PLUS
Malaysia Berhad, UEM Builders Berhad and UEM Edgenta
Berhad; Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad, and SEGi Holdings Sdn Bhd.
Together with our existing members, they adopted 21 new
schools, bringing the total number of PINTAR schools to 406.

To-date, PINTAR has reached out and touched the lives
of more than 730,000 students across the country. This
remarkable growth in members and schools adopted is an
undeniable testimony of our valued members’ and partners’
commitment to the PINTAR Programme, and who were
themselves richly rewarded, in turn, by their experience
working with various schools.
As the Foundation works towards our corporate objective to
become the ‘Centre of Excellence for School Adoption’ by
2018, the sustainability of the Foundation is imperative. Whilst
the Foundation is largely supported by a grant from Yayasan
Hasanah in 2015, it is important that the Foundation continues
to raise its own funds to support its operations and national
programmes. The Marketing team is thus looking into a more
substantive fund raiser event in 2016.
Our national programmes
Another key initiative in 2016 is to explore ways to help our
members deliver more effective programmes to support 21st
century learning in schools.
Amidst the programmes implemented by our members in their
adopted schools, PINTAR runs its own national programmes in
parallel. One such initiative is our flagship national programme,
PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU), which has adopted a new
theme for 2015/2016: “Promoting Intelligence”.
In 2015, we conducted a Leadership Programme for PINTAR
School Leaders (LPPSL), a programme very much in line with
PINTAR Core Module 3: Capability and Capacity Building; and
Shift 5 of the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025, for the
fourth batch of senior school leaders.
The collective efforts of PINTAR schools’ leaders, teachers
and students; and PINTAR members have motivated student
performance, as seen in the increased passing rate for
three major public examinations, namely the UPSR which
rose by 2.1%, the PT3 results by 7.6% and the SPM by 21%.
Congratulations to all for their commendable efforts!
Looking ahead
We reiterate our key focus area for 2016 which will be to work
with the related stakeholders and step up efforts towards
bridging the rural-urban gap in education and preparing our
youths to meet the challenges of their generation.
To compete globally, our workforce needs to be proficient in
English so that we can communicate internationally and use the
language as a tool to access science, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) to innovate and create a more competitive
economy. The Foundation and its members will be increasing
their efforts to implement a Highly Immersive Programme
(HIP) in English that would help students step up the use of the
language and in the long term increase their proficiency.
The Foundation’s marketing efforts will be intensified to bring
in more members to join the PINTAR Programme, especially
companies from East Malaysia to adopt schools within their
community, and thus assist more schools in the region who are
in need.
04
PINTAR is working in strong collaboration with all relevant
stakeholders to drive for effective implementation of its
strategy and action plans which are designed to help address
the needs identified.
Acknowledging our Stakeholders
I take this opportunity on behalf of the Foundation, to express
our sincere appreciation to Khazanah Nasional Berhad via
its foundation, Yayasan Hasanah, the Ministry of Education,
state education departments and all participating schools,
particularly the school principals, teachers, and students for
their confidence and commitment to the Foundation. Our
appreciation especially goes out to PINTAR members and
partners, the Foundation’s programme sponsors and partners
for their support and commitment to the PINTAR Programme
throughout the years.
To PINTAR’s management and staff at the Foundation as well as
our Board of Trustees, I offer my sincere gratitude for your trust,
support and assistance, working as a team to map out PINTAR’s
direction, and for your steadfast commitment in this immensely
satisfying journey.
Without doubt, we could not have made it thus far in our journey
had it not been for all our stakeholders mentioned. We look
forward to your continuous support and active involvement in
the PINTAR schools. Together, and with added impetus, we will
work towards contributing to the development of our human
capital to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
With this, on behalf of the Board, it gives me great pleasure to
present to you PINTAR Foundation’s Annual Report 2015.

It should be noted, however, that whilst the PINTAR
Programme is an intervention programme, it is difficult
to show direct correlation between intervention and
performance as there are factors and variables that
may have contributed to the improvement or decline in
passing rates.
UPSR RESULTS 2013¯2015

This year’s PINTAR school performance in the UPSR saw
a 2.1% increase in the PINTAR Average Passing Rate
compared to last year, while the PT3 results recorded
an increase of 7.6%. Last year’s PINTAR schools’
performance in the SPM examination saw a 21%
increase in the PINTAR Average Passing Rate, compared
to the results recorded for the year 2014.

In addition, some of the programmes implemented under
PINTAR have been non-academic in nature, as these are
aimed at providing holistic education to students. Thus,
to measure results quantitively is rather challenging.

OPERATIONS
REVIEW
The PINTAR Programme was
launched in December 2006
and PINTAR Foundation (the
Foundation) was established in
2008 to spearhead the PINTAR
School Adoption Programme
with a mission to make a
meaningful difference in the
lives of Malaysian students
from underserved communities
throughout the country.
14
OPERATIONS REVIEW
Throughout the years, the Foundation has remained steadfast in its mission and has focussed on providing targeted
programme interventions to improve the education outcomes of students of underperforming schools nationwide.
Working hand-in-hand with multiple stakeholders, especially PINTAR members and partners, the PINTAR Programme
has gone from strength to strength as the Foundation has learned many valuable lessons through the years. Our
implementation model has evolved into what we believe is a holistic, empowering and long-term approach to addressing
the challenges facing Malaysian students from underserved communities.
PINTAR members have remained committed to reach out to more students of underperforming schools and have given
their adopted schools the support they needed, as well as provided opportunities and access to inspire a values-driven
generation that will be more adequately prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
Financial Performance
In the year under review, the total income was RM4,523,734, while the total expenditure for the year was RM4,185,428,
which is a slight increase of approximately 6.2% compared to last year. The increased spending is due to the
implementation of additional programmes such as the PINTAR Satisfaction Survey 2015.
Total Expenditure
Total Income
RM4,523,734
RM4,185,428
6.2%
About 55.3% of the total expenditure was spent on the implementation of National Programmes for PINTAR schools.
This included the operation of two PINTAR Mobile Learning Units (PMLUs), the implementation of the Leadership
Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL) as well as monitoring and evaluation (M&E), which amounted to a total
of RM2,312,690. A further 44.7%, amounting to RM1,872,738, was attributed to human resource (HR), marketing,
communication, stakeholder engagement and administrative costs.
In 2015, the operations cost of the Foundation was largely funded by the Yayasan Hasanah grant obtained in the
same year and partly by the remaining government grant that was obtained in 2009. At the same time, in line with
our sustainability strategy, the Foundation also obtained additional funds through its consultancy service, fundraising
activities, sponsorship as well as interest income.
Collaborating to Nurture Malaysia’s Future
The Foundation’s three key tenets of ‘Promoting Intelligence’, ‘Nurturing Talent’, and ‘Advocating Responsibility’, and our
four core modules – motivational and teambuilding; education support; capability and capacity building; and reducing
vulnerabilities and social issues; provide a strong platform that guides the holistic development of a child.
The Foundation works in partnership with companies under the Public-Private Sector Partnership (PPP) in education
to implement the PINTAR School Adoption Programme in schools which need it most. The Foundation also works
closely with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and related departments within the ministry in order to ensure that all our
programmes and processes complement and support existing on-going efforts by the MOE and the Malaysia Education
Blueprint 2013-2025.

Ordinary members, Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad and Cement
Industries of Malaysia Berhad joined in January; UEM
Edgenta Berhad in February; PLUS Malaysia Berhad
in April, and SEGi Holdings Sdn Bhd in August. UEM
Group Berhad and its subsidiary, UEM Builders Berhad,
upgraded their Partner status to Ordinary member in
March and January, respectively.
In 2015, the Foundation successfully collaborated with
three new partners for its PINTAR National Programmes.
They were Allianz Malaysia Berhad which sponsored the
Logical Intelligence station on board one of the PMLUs;
The Asia Foundation for the Aflateen Financial Literacy
Programme; and Construction Industry Development
Board Malaysia (CIDB) for the My City 2050 Competition
under its Arena of Youth Programme.
The Foundation finished the year with a total of 45
members and partners, and 21 new schools, bringing the
total number of PINTAR schools to 406 schools.
In spite of the challenging economic environment in
2015, our members, who reported, funded a total of about
RM2.5 million for programmes at their schools, spending
an average of RM32,000 per school. The 13 PINTAR
members reported a total of 294 activities implemented
at their schools, covering all four core modules.
PINTAR members also contributed to the programme
in terms of manpower, with at least 273 volunteers
from their organisations who worked on the ground to
ensure the smooth running of the programmes at their
adopted schools.
Together with our members and partners, the Foundation
helps students of PINTAR schools build the foundation for
lifelong learning, and offer a fun and out-of-classroom
learning experience that helps nurture them.
16
The commitment of our members and partners, together
with the efforts of the school leadership and teachers,
have yielded positive results which are reflected in the
performance of PINTAR schools in the three major public
examinations, and LINUS tests.
Compared to the previous year, the performance of PINTAR
schools saw an increase in the passing rate for three major
public examinations, namely UPSR which rose by 2.1%,
the PT3 results by 7.6%, and the SPM by 21%.
Apart from the examination results, other indicators for
PINTAR schools include the LINUS rating for Bahasa
Melayu, Mathematics and English. The LINUS for PINTAR
schools measured over two years in 2014 and 2015 with
the same cohort of students saw a significant improvement,
most notably, in English, which had improved by 17.6%. The
average school attendance rates for PINTAR students also
remained steady at 91% in 2015.
NATIONAL PROGRAMMES
PINTAR National Programmes are national scale
programmes designed, implemented, managed and
monitored by the Foundation. These programmes are
executed across PINTAR schools nationwide and support
the aspirations and goals set by MOE. Our National
Programmes adopt a fun and interactive approach to
learning while complementing the academic curriculum,
and promoting learning through creative, innovative and
mentally stimulating methods to help students discover
their talents, develop leadership and communication skills,
as well as instil good moral values.
In 2015, the Foundation implemented three National
Programmes: PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU),
Aflateen Financial Literacy Programme and Leadership
Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL).
PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit
The PMLU is a thematic customised vehicle fitted with
various educational tools and interactive learning
stations, which serves to reach out to PINTAR students.
An alternative to the conventional classroom, the PMLU
adds experiential learning with elements of fun and
active interest to the learning process.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
PINTAR, working alongside The Asia Foundation, provided
training for PINTAR secondary school teachers who, in turn,
delivered the modules to inspire and empower their students
to lead responsible lives and to become agents of change.
Ten PINTAR secondary schools participated in the
programme, of which students from eight schools took
part in the inaugural Aflateen School Project Competition
2015 to see how well they fare in planning, budgeting,
saving and spending responsibly.
Since its introduction in 2009, the PMLU remains as
one of the most popular and well-received national
programmes. It has remained evergreen through the
continually refreshed themes which maintain the novelty
of the PMLU.
Since 2013, the Foundation has maintained two PMLUs
to visit the ever increasing number of PINTAR schools.
The theme for the year 2015/2016 was ‘Promoting
Intelligence’, which featured learning stations that
featured various traits of intelligence: verbal, logical,
musical, visual, kinaesthetics and emotional. This theme
is very much in line with MOE’s goal to produce students
with higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and seeks to
develop the thinking skills of students, inspiring them
to become lifelong learners and problem-solvers with
creative solutions.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
Leadership Programme For Pintar School Leaders
The Foundation recognises the school leader’s critical
role in creating the right learning environment while
motivating teachers and students.
Thus, in September 2011, the Foundation embarked
on a mission to develop school leaders’ capacities
and capabilities which led to the creation of the
Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders
(LPPSL), in line with PINTAR Core Module 3: Capability
and Capacity Building.
LPPSL is a strategic capacity building programme
which recognises that a highly motivated and dedicated
teaching workforce is the key to creating a positive impact
on schools and students alike. It provides awareness
and understanding of critical factors that assist school
leaders in spearheading effectiveness and excellence
in their schools. It deepens understanding of the school
leadership role; the best practices in school leadership
and management, and equips school leaders with
effective management models to assist them in their
leadership role.
In 2015, the fourth batch of school leaders participated
in LPPSL, completing Phase 1 and 2, of a three-phase
programme. It involved 93 principals / headmasters,
senior teachers, counsellors and discipline teachers from
25 selected PINTAR schools nationwide.
The objective of Phase 1, attended by 50 principals /
headmasters and senior teachers, was to evoke the
leaders’ self-realisation on key critical factors, namely
effective communication, emotional intelligence, as well
as problem solving and transformation of management
skills, which can help them in leading their respective
schools towards effectiveness and excellence.
The objective of Phase 2, attended by 50 counsellors and
discipline teachers, was to equip them with effective and
essential leadership skills in order to support their school
leaders’ important role in creating the right learning
environment while motivating their colleagues and students.
Participants from both Phases 1 and 2 are working closely
together in spearheading effectiveness and excellence in
their respective schools.
18
The LPPSL programme in 2015 was facilitated by a team
from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), led by
Professor Dr Omar Abdull Kareem, an associate professor
with the Department of Education Management, Faculty
of Management and Economics of UPSI.
Phase 1, Batch 4
• Participants: 48 principals / headmasters and senior
teachers
• Achievement: 100% of participants were satisfied
with the training
Phase 2, Batch 4
• Participants: 45 counsellors and discipline teachers
• Achievement: 90% of participants were satisfied with
the training
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
The success of the PINTAR Programme lies in the
effective collaboration of various stakeholders. Our focus
is on strengthening the relations we hold with our key
stakeholder – PINTAR members and partners who have
contributed to the growth and success of the PINTAR
Programme over the years.
Another key stakeholder is the MOE and the state
education departments (JPNs). By working closely and
addressing their needs and concerns, the Foundation
can continue to ensure that the students and schools will
ultimately gain the most out of the PINTAR Programme.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
PINTAR Roundtables
PINTAR Members’ Retreat 2015
PINTAR bi-annual roundtables are an arena for PINTAR
members and partners to network, exchange ideas and
experience, and discuss on issues that would lead to
better programmes for PINTAR schools and influence
student outcomes. Two Roundtables were held in 2015.
Twenty-four participants from 14 PINTAR member
organisations attended the PINTAR Members’ Retreat
2015 at Le Grandeur Palm Resort in Johor, from 15-17
November 2015. The retreat, which is held every two
years, is a platform for the Foundation and its members to
foster closer working relationship.
At the 23rd Roundtable meeting on 17 February, the
Foundation disclosed the Members’ Year End Report 2014
to its members and partners, and shared the Foundation’s
programmes and activities planned for 2015. PINTAR
members were also briefed by two MOE officers on
the latest initiatives by the ministry - the Education
Transformation Programme at the district level, and the
incorporation of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) into
classroom lessons at public schools, which members
may find useful to incorporate into their programmes
and activities for their respective schools. The officers
also suggested ways on how PINTAR members could
incorporate HOTS in their school programmes that will
create pathways for a more holistic student, as opposed
to the previous pedagogy styles that were exam-oriented.
On 15 September, the Foundation held the 24th PINTAR
Members’ Roundtable 2015 where they shared with its
members and partners on the Members’ Mid-Year Report
2015, and the latest updates on PINTAR programmes and
activities. PINTAR members were also briefed by an MOE
officer on the concept of the 21st Century Classroom. The
officer also shared insights on how the school and class
environment can affect and influence student outcomes,
and ideas on how PINTAR members can support or help
underperforming schools especially those who do not
have adequate space to conduct lessons and activities.
The highlight of the retreat was the discussion session
on the sustainability and impact of PINTAR Programme,
facilitated by Yayasan Hasanah Senior Vice President, Dr
Jasmina Kuka. The discussions were centred on PINTAR
four core modules, and a standard measure for M&E on
effectiveness of members’ programmes at schools.
Overall, the PINTAR Members’ Retreat 2015 was a
success with 5% increase in the number of members’
participation. A majority of the members felt that the
discussions were beneficial.
Engaging the Ministry of Education and State
Education Departments
The Foundation continues to receive valuable support
from the MOE and JPNs for its programmes at schools.
Throughout 2015, the Foundation regularly engaged
with various departments within the MOE and JPNs to
update them on PINTAR programmes, as well as discuss
issues relating to PINTAR schools, including issues on
school adoption, and schools’ or teachers’ involvement
in programmes. The meetings were also aimed to foster
closer ties between the Foundation and the MOE and JPNs.
During the year, the Foundation attended several
meetings with two departments of MOE, namely,
Bahagian Pengurusan Sekolah Harian, and Jemaah Nazir
dan Jaminan Kualiti, and visited a total of nine JPNs in
Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of
Labuan, Johor, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak,
Perlis and Sabah.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
MONITORING AND EVALUATION
BUILDING BRAND EQUITY
The year 2015 has been a year of implementation, review
and fine-tuning for the Foundation as it continues in its
quest to further improve the M&E of the PINTAR Programme.
The role of PINTAR Foundation may have evolved over the
years, but the common denominators that run through
are: service and impact. Our communication strategy is
about raising awareness of the PINTAR Programme as a
time-tested programme which provides a solid corporate
responsibility (CR) platform that has potential positive
impact on its beneficiaries; and the value of PINTAR
Foundation as the centre of excellence for school adoption.
Since 2013, the Foundation has in place an M&E template
which has been developed to help members monitor
programmes implemented at their adopted schools, and
allow the Foundation to gauge the effectiveness of the
PINTAR four core modules and how the programmes have
benefitted target groups.
This year, the M&E template was revised and further
improved to help members monitor and report on the
impact of their programmes more effectively.
Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey 2015
The Foundation conducted its annual Stakeholder
Satisfaction Survey to help the Foundation identify
specific areas for improvement that can bring the PINTAR
Programme to greater heights in the future.
The Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey 2015 was
conducted in July and August 2015 by an external
party, AUFA Intelligence, for PINTAR key stakeholders.
A total of 270 respondents from 55 PINTAR schools and
42 respondents from 25 PINTAR members and partners
gave their feedback.
The survey outcome noted an overall satisfaction index
score of 86.5 by the schools and 77.1 by the members;
indicating the schools were very satisfied with the
members’ programmes while PINTAR members were
satisfied with the Foundation and its services.
Ninety-eight per cent of the schools perceived that the
PINTAR four core modules conducted had achieved
the objective in enhancing the students’ academic
performance, while 96% of the members agreed that the
modules were able to provide holistic education.

Building and strengthening the PINTAR brand continue
to be one of the main priorities of PINTAR Foundation.
Throughout 2015, several communication and marketing
initiatives were implemented to achieve the corporate
objectives of the Foundation. Various channels were
employed, including the use of traditional and new media
to reach our target audience.
Media Engagement
There is no doubt that the media can play an important
role in ensuring the general public and our stakeholders,
especially potential members, continue to learn about
PINTAR and what we do. This positive awareness of PINTAR
will enable the Foundation to make better inroads in our
marketing efforts, with the ultimate desired outcome of
getting more underperforming schools adopted and more
needy students assisted.
In 2015, the Foundation leveraged on its National
Programmes and other activities to engage the media and
cultivate a closer relationship by understanding what the
media needs and wants for its content, and allowing them
access to information within the Foundation that would
be able to meet their expectations.
In addition, we organised an Editors’ Luncheon on 5 March
at Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar to establish a better
relationship with the media. The luncheon served as a
platform for PINTAR Board of Trustees and management
team to share the achievements of the Foundation in
2014 as well as its plans for 2015.
This has proven to be a good strategy as the
Communications team was able to garner interview spots
for a number of prominent print, online and broadcast
media channels that led to greater publicity for the PINTAR
Programme, achieving a media value worth RM1.9 million
in 2015.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
PINTAR CONSULTANCY SERVICE
The PINTAR Consultancy Service (PCS) provides an
end-to-end service delivery to companies that wish to
participate in the PINTAR Programme, but are limited by
capacity and resource.
Engaging the Public
The Foundation implements the programme on behalf
of the company, while regular M&E are conducted and
findings reported to the company on a quarterly or halfyearly basis, depending on the agreement.
PINTAR Foundation maintains regular communication
with its stakeholders by keeping them abreast with the
latest news and programme updates through various
traditional and new media channels.
Apart from implementing programmes for companies, the
Foundation also provides PCS for companies who wish to
sponsor its National Programmes.
Our quarterly newsletter, PINTAR Voices, not only
keeps our key stakeholders informed of the most recent
activities and achievements, but also gives an added
value to PINTAR members as the newsletter also features
the activities that PINTAR members and partners run at
their adopted schools.
Our PINTAR website, available in two languages –
English and Bahasa Malaysia, continues to provide our
stakeholders with up-to-date PINTAR news. Apart from
our website, the Foundation has social media accounts,
specifically Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn,
to maintain a more engaging relationship with its
increasingly internet-savvy stakeholders and to relay
information to the public in real time.
Fundraising
Fundraising remained an important agenda of the
Foundation in 2015. Besides the sales of books published
by and for the Foundation, which are ‘The Malaysia Art
Book for Children’, ‘Buku Seni Rupa Malaysia untuk
Kanak-kanak’, and the bi-lingual ‘Beating the Odds’, the
Fundraising team managed to close sponsorship deals
worth RM260,000 for two of its national programmes.
They are Allianz Malaysia Berhad who sponsored the
Logical Intelligence station on board one of the PMLUs
for two years, and the Construction Industry Development
Board Malaysia (CIDB) for the My City 2050 Competition
under its Arena of Youth Programme.
Danajamin100 Student Leadership Programme
The
Danajamin100
Leadership
Programme
(Danajamin100) is a three-year programme aimed to
develop and maximise students’ leadership abilities and
potential through a variety of well-designed engagements.
Programme sponsor, Danajamin Nasional Berhad,
appointed the Foundation, under its PINTAR Consultancy
Service (PCS), to manage the implementation of the
Danajamin100 Programme for three batches of students.
The Danajamin100 Batch 1 comprises 30 PINTAR
secondary students from schools within the states of
Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, namely, SMK Munshi
Abdullah, SMK Gombak Setia, SMK Pulau Indah, SMK
Juasseh and SMR Agama Repah, who began this threeyear programme in 2014. The students were selected
for the programme based on their academic results,
co-curricular performance and leadership potential.
Throughout 2015, Batch 1 had undergone activities and
camps focusing on study excellence, character building,
leadership, communication and soft skills.

OPERATIONS REVIEW
Concurrently, the second batch of 30 students was
selected based on a similar criteria and involved students
from SMK Ayer Hangat and SMK Agama Baling in Kedah;
SMK Sungai Acheh and SMK Hutchings in Penang,
and SMK Chenderiang in Perak who went through an
orientation session and training at the Outward Bound
School in Lumut, Perak in November 2015.
Arena of Youth: My City 2050 Competition
The Foundation will continue to seek opportunities such
as this for students of PINTAR schools to explore new
fields of interest which cannot be taught in the confines
of a classroom.
EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT
The Foundation would not be where it is today, without
the dedication and passion of the people within it. Each
staff, in its respective role, has contributed to the success
of the Foundation. Recognising that, the staff members’
continued wellbeing remains a top priority.
The Foundation continues to provide a safe and
conducive work environment and culture in which
their welfare is assured. Besides that, it continues to
emphasise on building PINTAR staff’s capabilities and
improving work processes to ensure a smoother and
more efficient organisation.
The Foundation is a programme partner for the
My City 2050 Competition (MC2050), organised
by the Construction Industry Development Board
Malaysia (CIDB) in conjunction with the International
Construction Week.
The MC2050, opened to secondary students aged
between 15-17 years old, is a town-planning competition
that was conceived as a means to develop the next
generation of builders.
Eight PINTAR secondary schools and two international
schools were shortlisted to send their 10-member team to
the MC2050 Finale, where the teams were given the task
to envision, design and build a model of a sustainable city
in 2050.
The participating PINTAR schools were SMK Seri Kota
Paloh and SMK Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar in Johor; SM
Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah in Pahang; SMK Munshi Abdullah
and SMK Ampang Pecah from Selangor; SMK Ayer Hangat
and SMK Kota Kuala Muda in Kedah, and SMK Sungai Ara
in Pulau Pinang.
22
In 2015, PINTAR Foundation had 18 staff, and based on a
training needs analysis, staff participated in programmes
conducted by external trainers on strategic planning
and implementation, project management, financialrelated programmes, Microsoft Office Excel skills,
communication-related programmes and presentation
skills, where each of them received an average of two
training days.
Acknowledging that “All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy”, the Foundation encourages its employees to take
part in activities that build camaraderie and strengthen
working relationships. A Staff Day was organised where
the 2-day 1-night trip to Janda Baik was filled with ice
breakers, team building activities and a motivational talk
that helped achieve the objective of building a better and
more effective team.

(Since 2008)
As the corporate responsibility and philanthropic platform of CIMB Group, the CIMB
Foundation carries out the group’s community programme in three pillars — community
development, sports and education. In its engagement with PINTAR, the CIMB
Foundation helps its PINTAR schools improve their academic performance, upgrade
their school facilities, and procure teaching and learning materials. In 2015, the
Foundation contributed a total of RM450,150, aside from supporting English literacy
and ICT knowledge programmes, and awarding achievements.
CIMB FOUNDATION
ENGLISH LITERACY PROGRAMME
In April, more than 640 Year 6 students from 10 of its active schools located in the
states of Perlis and Kedah were involved in the programme, aimed at identifying their
strengths and weaknesses in the English language, besides increasing the number of
‘A’ achievers and passes in the English language.
ROBOTICS LEARNING PROGRAMME AND COMPETITION
One hundred and twelve students participated in the robotics learning programme
aimed at developing and strengthening thinking and social skills. This has led them to
enter the First Lego League competition in May. The shortlisted teams then participated
in the National Robotics Competition (NRC) in August where one of the schools — SK
Seri Perlis — won first place in the state championship.
KNIGHTS OF NATURE JUNIOR CAMP
In June, 20 students from its 10 active schools participated in the Knights of Nature
Junior Camp, jointly organised with EcoKnights, which exposed students and
accompanying teachers to the impact of plastic, plastic pollution and recycling.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE CONTEST DAY
In October, over 350 primary school students took part in the Final Round English

Danajamin Nasional Berhad believes that the growth of the organisation must be
balanced by efforts to improve the local community, especially young children who
are our future leaders. Hence, one of the main focuses of Danajamin is improving the
quality and access to education as the organisation believes that every child deserves
quality education and the opportunity to change his or her life. The Danajamin—
PINTAR collaboration has enhanced its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities
by allowing them to reach out to more Malaysian students in a more sustainable and
systematic approach. The organisation is certain that the collaboration in the local
education scene will continue to make a difference in the lives of deserving students
throughout the country.
DANAJAMIN NASIONAL BERHAD
PROGRAMMES FOR UPSR STUDENTS
Among the programmes held for its UPSR students at SK Petaling (1) were UPSR
Clinic and Pecutan Akhir Programmes, which strive to enhance students’ abilities in
understanding and answering UPSR questions, focused techniques in approaching
examination questions whilst identifying their strengths and weaknesses. Experienced
invigilators from other schools were invited to share techniques and strategies to
answer difficult questions and how to score effectively during examinations.
MOTIVATIONAL PROGRAMMES
Danajamin supported programmes such as Program Motivasi Pencetus Kesedaran
Diri and Kem Pemantapan Diri, aimed at unlocking the students’ self-awareness and
confidence, and moulding them into becoming more confident and disciplined. The
organisation views both of these aspects — academics and well-being of students, to
be equally important in nurturing students in a holistic manner.
SPECTACLES PROGRAMME
The Spectacles Programme provided students, who were in need of visual
assistance, with a pair of spectacles, in order for them to have a better learning
condition during class.

PUBLIC SPEAKING AND DEBATE COMPETITION
Sixty primary and secondary school students in Johor participated in the Public
Speaking and Debate Competition, which was organised under the annual Green
Programme. The competition aimed at helping the students to articulate, organise and
present ideas, opinions and information in relation to green environment, in a logical
and persuasive manner.
AMAZING PATRIOTIC RACE II
Compared to the first race held in 2014, this year’s race was more intense with elaborate
obstacles, which stressed on students’ knowledge about Malaysia’s cultural diversity,
while highlighting the essentials of high order thinking skills (HOTS). The competition
also incorporated patriotic elements and activities related to unity, diversity and
Malaysia’s Independence Day.
ZAKAT DISBURSEMENT FUND
In 2015, UEM Sunrise presented an allocated zakat fund of RM123,800 to 556 Asnaf
students from its PINTAR schools in Iskandar Puteri (formerly known as Nusajaya), to
help meet their needs as well as to assist them with their relevant school necessities.

Caring for society at large and the environment is a deeply rooted core value of
UMW Oil & Gas Corporation Berhad (UMW-OG), which has made concentrated efforts
in the areas of education, safety and environment.
UMW Oil and GAS
CORPORATION berhad
UMW-OG has allocated funds over a period of three years for each of its adopted school
to conduct various activities including training and workshops on public examinations
preparation, language workshops, safety awareness related programmes, and many
more for the benefit of the students and teachers.
Inaugural Road Safety Campaign
In June, UMW-OG via its Corporate Communications and QHSE departments, in
collaboration with Perbadanan Putraya (PPJ), organised a road safety campaign via the
latter’s ‘Smart DeCare’ programme for its adopted schools.
The inaugural programme saw close to 120 participants, aged between 10-17 years old,
from SMK Jeram and SK Jeram Batu 20, experienced potential hazards and dangers
while using roads in a controlled safe environment.
‘Smart DeCARE’ is a traffic circuit road safety competition / education programme,
introduced in Putrajaya in 2009, aimed at educating students on road safety via
workshops, trainings and competitions.
Rohaizad Darus
President
“PINTAR has facilitated identification of
schools which are in need of assistance.
As a caring organisation, UMW-OG is
very keen on fast and impactful CSR
programme, hence the rolling out of
UMW-OG English language tuition
programme. The PINTAR programme has
definitely affected our staff positively,
both in terms of morale and work ethics;
especially for those who are directly
involved in the activities. The first hand
exposure has given our staff greater
awareness of the real conditions and
constraints facing the students especially
the less fortunate ones. I do strongly
believe that getting involved in lending a
helping hand especially to those in need
will inculcate a lot of positive values as it
fosters greater appreciation of hard work
and gratitude.”

PPJ’s unique programme fits UMW-OG’s main objective which is to reinforce the
importance of fostering road safety awareness amongst children through a fun and
interactive learning environment.
English Tuition Programme
In April, UMW-OG adopted SMK Jeram, its second PINTAR school, and launched an
English Language Tuition programme specially tailored for the SPM students of the
schools. The aim of the English tuition programme is not only to help students improve
their proficiency in the English language, but also to make them realise the importance
to boost the English language learning as a means of pushing students in the rural
areas towards being better able to compete with the global community.
Held once a week, the programme which included meals for students, took place from
April until October 2015, and involved over 100 students.
The classes are led by specialist tutors with background in Teaching English as a
Second Language (TESL) specifically engaged by UMW-OG. To further assist them
in their studies, each participating student received a copy of the Kamus Dwibahasa
Oxford Fajar, bilingual dictionary.
UMW-OG is proud to share that following the implementation of the tuition programme,
the school’s overall performance in the recent SPM examination for the English
Language paper has increased from 53% (2014) to 62% (2015).

I found the LPPSL programme by PINTAR Foundation is
truly good and beneficial. It needs to be continued in
future and this programme helps teachers and school’s
management to tackle the disciplinary problem among
the student as well as to increase the potential of student’s
academic achievements. I felt lucky that my school was
selected to be part of this great programme.
The student activities of the English Literacy Programme
sponsored by UEM Group Berhad has really helped build
my students’ confidence as well as interest to learn
English more. They’ve gained such a valuable experience
that they would not have been able to otherwise within
the classroom.

I liked the programme because it was informal enough
to pique my interest, and yet was packed with relevant

programme that would help coach students to manage
their finance, I would definitely be recommending it to
teachers in other schools to implement it as well.

of creating a sustainable city even though they came
from a rural background. Thank you PINTAR Foundation

throughout this competition and hopefully there will be
more new programmes for PINTAR schools in future.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Other statutory information
(a) Before the statement of comprehensive income and balance sheet of the Company were made out, the Trustees took
reasonable steps:
(b)
(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision for
doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that there were no known bad debts and that no provision for doubtful debts
was necessary; and
(ii)
to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the accounting records in the ordinary
course of business had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Trustees are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the
financial statements of the Company which would render:
(i)
it necessary to write off any bad debts or to make any provision for doubtful debts in respect of the financial statements
of the Company; and
(ii)
the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Company misleading.
(c)
At the date of this report, the Trustees are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which would render adherence
to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading or inappropriate.
(d)
At the date of this report, the Trustees are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial
statements of the Company which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.
(e)
As at the date of this report, there does not exist:
(f)
(i)
any charge on the assets of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the
liabilities of any other person; or
(ii)
any contingent liability in respect of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.
In the opinion of the Trustees:
(i)
no contingent liability or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period
of twelve months after the end of the financial year which will or may affect the ability of the Company to meet its
obligations as and when they fall due; and
(ii)
no item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature has arisen in the interval between the end of the
financial year and the date of this report which is likely to affect substantially the results of the Company for the
financial year in which this report is made.

Independent auditors’ report
TO THE MEMBERS OF PINTAR FOUNDATION (INCORPORATED IN MALAYSIA)
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the financial statements of PINTAR Foundation (“the Company”), which comprise the statement of financial
position of the Company as at 31 December 2015, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity
and statement of cash flows of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory notes, as set out on pages 50 to 61.
Trustees’ responsibility for the financial statements
The Trustees of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance
with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the
Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The Trustees are also responsible for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary
to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s
preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit
also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
made by the Trustees, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2015
and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting
Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 (“the Act”) in Malaysia, we also report that in our opinion,
the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company have been properly kept in
accordance with the provisions of the Act.
Other matters
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies Act, 1965
in Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

Notes to the financial statements
– 31 DECEMBER 2015
1.CORPORATE INFORMATION
The principal activities of the Company are to enhance the education, development of human capital in nation building
which will benefit the Malaysian society and community at large. There have been no significant changes in the nature of
the principal activities during the financial year.
The Company is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia. The registered office of the
Company is located at A-16-8, Menara UOA Bangsar, No.5 Jalan Bangsar Utama 1, 59000, Kuala Lumpur
The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Trustees in accordance with a resolution of the Trustees
on 7 June 2016.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act,
1965 and with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), which is in compliance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Company’s functional currency.
2.2Changes in accounting policies
The new and revised MFRSs, which are mandatory for companies with financial period beginning on or after 1 January
2015, did not give rise to any significant effects on the financial statements of the Company.
2.3Standards issued but not yet effective
The Trustees expect that the new MFRSs which are issued but not yet effective for the financial year ended 31 December
2015 will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application.
2.4Significant accounting estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRSs requires the use of certain accounting estimates
and exercise of judgments. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience,
reasonable expectations of future events and other factors.
The Trustees are of the opinion that there are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of
estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
2.5Summary of significant accounting policies
(a)
Property and equipment
All items of property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property and equipment
is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Subsequent to recognition, property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses. Repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

2.5Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.)
(a)
Property and equipment (cont’d.)
Computer software

Furniture and Fittings
Office equipment
Computer equipment
Motor vehicle
The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost and is not depreciated until the assets are ready for intended use.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted
prospectively, if appropriate.
An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss
in the year the asset is derecognised.
Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed on a straight-line over the estimated useful lives of
the assets as follows:
3 years
3 years

5 years
(b)Grants
Grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received
and all conditions attached will be met. Grants relating to income, shall be recognised in profit or loss on a
systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the
grants are intended to compensate. Grants relating to an asset, are amortised to profit or loss over the expected
useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments or presented in the balance sheet by deducting the
grants in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset.
(c)Impairment of non-financial assets
54
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any
such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Company makes
an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For
the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately
identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted
to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value
of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU
or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of
units on a pro-rata basis.
(c)Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d.)
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. An assessment is made at
each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no
longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been
a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was
recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That
increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no
impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
(d)Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus directly attributable
transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum
of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive
income is recognised in profit or loss.
(i)Receivables
Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified
as receivables. The Company’s receivables include other receivables.
Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised
or impaired, and through the amortisation process.
(e)Impairment of financial assets
(i)Receivables
To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been
incurred, the Company considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial
difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.
If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the
asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial
asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial
assets.
If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised
impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its
amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(f)Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and
the definitions of a financial liability.
Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, are
recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
The Company’s financial liabilities include other payables.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised
in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished.
(g)Equity instruments
Contribution from members are classified as equity.
(h)Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank and
deposits with licensed financial institutions which have an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(i)Employee benefits
(i)Short term benefits
Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year
in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated
absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase
their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non- accumulating compensated absences
such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii)Defined contribution plan
The Company participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in
which it has operations. The Company makes contributions to the Employees Provident Fund in Malaysia,
a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension scheme are
recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed.
(j)Income recognition
Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the Company and the amount of the income can be reliably measured. The specific income stream is
as follows:
(i)Interest income
56
Interest income is recognised on accrual basis using the effective interest method.
(j)Income recognition (cont’d.)
(ii) Proceeds from fund raising events
Proceeds from fund raising events are recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic
benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of the income can be
measured reliably.

(k) Key management personnel
