Every year, the Behn Meyer Malaysia Foundation sets aside a portion of its annual net income to award various benefits and financial aid to eligible employees for their children’s education. By supporting the advancement of their studies and rewarding academic achievements, our goal is to incentivise the pursuit of knowledge.
This year, in conjunction with Hari Raya Eid al-Fitr (the Muslim celebration marking the end of the fasting month), the BM Foundation Awards Ceremony was held on the premises of the Subang Jaya office together with a Hari Raya celebration lunch. Everyone from the Subang Jaya office was invited to join in the ceremony and celebrations.
The awards this year were given out in 3 main categories: Scholarship, Excellence and Education. Pn. Rohaya Muhammad, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, chaired the ceremony by introducing the awards and inviting the recipients to receive the various awards.
In total, 5 scholarships awards were given out, along with 16 excellence awards and 32 education aid awards. The awards were handed out to the recipients by Behn Meyer Management Board members Mr. Oliver Meyer and Dr. Dirk Lorenz-Meyer, as well as Mr. Teo Tee Seng, the Executive Director of Behn Meyer AgriCare (M) Sdn. Bhd., standing in for Mr. Chong Yiew On, also a member of the Behn Meyer Management Board.
Following the award ceremony, the staff were treated to a scrumptious buffet lunch featuring delicious Malay cuisine, where local delights such as satay and roasted lamb flowed freely.
