Top Ten Charity Campaign (Top Ten), a flagship community enrichment campaign funded by Carlsberg Malaysia, resumes its 37th year of fund-raising mission for education, with an enhanced focus on inclusivity and sustainability. Themed ‘Championing Education Today for a Greener Tomorrow’, Top Ten extends its reach to 12 beneficiaries, including three schools in Sabah and Sarawak, alongside Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia (Huazong) and Hospital Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (Hospital UTAR) , going beyond just vernacular schools. The campaign remains committed to addressing the resource gaps in many vernacular schools by providing platform to raise funds for school infrastructure development, whilst also extending its support to education funds for equal access to education.
“We are committed
to continue funding and organising the Top Ten with greater purpose of brewing
a better today and tomorrow for the communities we engage with,” said Stefano
Clini, Managing Director of Carlsberg Malaysia. “The programme meets our pledge
for United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) 4: Quality Education and
UNSDG 13: Climate Action, and by driving inclusion and climate awareness in
education , we are cultivating in a brighter future generation and environment for
Malaysia. We invite everyone to join us in this meaningful journey as we strive
to create a positive impact on our communities.”
For nearly four
decades, the Top Ten has been widely regarded as the longest-running and highest
funds-raising platform with over RM568 million proceeds collected for
infrastructure expansion, facility enhancement, and the advancement of
educational programmes for 684 schools nationwide. This year, it sets to help twelve
schools raising RM17.4 million over the next two months.
“With the Top Ten,
we can continue alleviating financial burden, opening doors of opportunity for
deserving students and enabling them to focus on their education and
aspirations,” said Huazong President, Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima (Dr) T.C. Goh.
“Together with Carlsberg Malaysia, we believe that no dream should be hindered
by financial barriers, and through this Carlsberg Huazong Education Fund, we
are dedicated to providing scholarship to deserving students to pursue their
tertiary education”.
A key highlight of
this year’s campaign is the introduction of the Top Ten Green Club, a
sustainability-driven initiative designed to engage students in recycling and
environmental responsibility. This initiative will be carried out as co-curricular
activities across participating schools to support eco-friendly projects,
fostering a culture of environmental stewardship.
“We are proud to
be part of the Top Ten Green Club initiative this year and it will enable us to foster climate-change awareness, empowering
our students to take actions on recycling and sustainability ideas within the
schools premise,” said Tan
Cheng Teng, Chairman of Lahad Datu Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Lahad Datu
Middle Schools, Lahad Datu.
"As
a pioneer in fundraising for education, the Top Ten not only performs
outstandingly in Peninsular Malaysia but has extended its influence to Sabah
and Sarawak," said YB Tuan Wong Kah Woh,
Deputy Minister from the Ministry of Education. The Top Ten holds the record
for the longest-running and highest funds raised by a charity platform. Over
the years, it has raised more than RM568 million for our schools. All of this
would not have been possible without the strong support from everyone. Finally,
I would like to especially thank Carlsberg Malaysia for their efforts and
contributions in the field of education."
Additionally, Top
Ten also serves as an avenue for promoting local singers within the entertainment
industry. Running from October to November, the fundraising platform
jointly-organised by participating educational institutions nationwide will
host charity concerts that feature Malaysian artists Ribbon Ooi; Justin Ng,
Fuying & Sam, Nicole Lai Chung Fung, Ash Lu, Geraldine Gan and Vanessa
Reynauld.
