15 October 2021 – Understanding how crucial education is as a foundation of life, every year, the Behn Meyer Foundation would award scholarships and financial aids to children of employees to honour their academic achievements and compensate their education expenses.

The programme sponsored by the Registered Trustees of the Behn Meyer Foundation rewards children of Behn Meyer employees who had completed at least 5 years of service, and complied with the specified eligibility requirements. Any employees who fulfil the criteria set can submit their application to the respective department secretaries for the company’s consideration.

With the cost of education getting increasingly high and the pandemic taking its tolls on many, the continuation of this award demonstrates Behn Meyer’s commitment in providing support and positive assurance to its loyal employees that these challenges are to be faced together.

This year, awards were given in two categories: Education Aid and Scholarship Awards. As many as 16 students from 10 families were granted the Education Aid, while another two students, both currently in their tertiary education, received the Scholarship Awards.

Ensuing the award ceremony, all employees were treated to a range of delectable local Malay cuisine such as nasi minyak, nasi dagang and nasi kerabu for their lunch. Decadent desserts like tarts and puff pastries were also shared amongst the employees in celebration of this day.
