Company’s fund-raising project a success.
CHINESE school education received a boost when Guinness Anchor Bhd (Gab) recently donated a total of RM2mil following a six-week fund-raising campaign.
Dubbed the Dragon Mission, the campaign, which ended in February benefited the Chinese Primary School Development Fund and the Brilliant Dragon Education Fund.
Under the first category, the company donated 30 sen for every bottle of Tiger, Guinness, Heineken and Anchor sold at 3,302 participating coffee shops and food courts. The RM1.4 million
raised from this effort will be distributed to 632 Chinese primary schools.

A total of RM615,000 was raised for this fund and will be awarded as scholarships to 615 deserving students who wish to continue their secondary education in one of the 60 Independent Chinese secondary schools in Malaysia.
The company held a dinner last Tuesday for representatives of participating food outlets and supermarkets, to thank them for their efforts and cooperation.
Among those present were Deputy Education Minister Dr Wee Ka Siong, chairman Tan Sri Saw Huat Lye, managing director Charles Ireland and executive director Low Teng Lum.
