After finishing off with schools in Melaka, Caltex has now completed its annual community campaign in Negeri Sembilan, the land of masak lomak cili api. Caltex Fuel Your School in partnership with MyKasih Foundation. In its fourth consecutive year, the Campaign had once again further raised the awareness in driving change and providing equal self-development with proper classroom facilities for students of high need schools in Negeri Sembilan and Malacca by enhancing a better environment and further promoting the learning of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics.

Remember folks, it is always a good thing to give back to society, especially our rural folk who somehow lag behind when it comes to education and the necessary tools to compete.

NEGERI SEMBILAN, 20 Nov. 2015: Chevron Malaysia Limited, which carries the retail brand

Caltex®, successfully completed its annual community campaign, Caltex Fuel Your School in partnership

with MyKasih Foundation. In its fourth consecutive year, the Campaign had once again further raised the

awareness in driving change and providing equal self-development with proper classroom facilities for

students of high need schools in Negeri Sembilan and Malacca by enhancing a better environment and

further promoting the learning of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics.

“By reaching out to schools in Malaysia one state at a time, we are glad that the Caltex Fuel Your School

campaign has made a difference and this is especially important for high need schools as more than 50

percent of the students are from low income households. In line with our global initiative, Chevron’s

Energy for Learning, this community campaign truly helps to support learning-based programmes –

whether it’s acquiring new knowledge, gaining new skills or exposing individuals to different ways of

thinking,” said Policy, Government & Public Affairs Manager, Mokhtar Ali Ismail.

This year, out of 25 classroom projects funded for Negeri Sembilan, Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampong Parit

and Sekolah Kebangsaan Pendidikan Khas Seremban struck the most wins and were awarded with

learning materials worth RM20,000 each. The submissions contributed to a 60 percent increase in project

submissions compared to the overall campaign last year.

“I was overjoyed when our school was informed that four of our submitted projects were selected and will

be receiving learning materials to further enhance the classroom experience for our students. I applaud the

teachers of this school who passionately worked so hard to win the Caltex Fuel Your School campaign. It

is like a dream come true and this is the best thing that’s ever happened – together with the teachers, we

are now able to provide a better learning environment for our students. Thank you, Chevron for making

this possible,” expressed Mr. Mohd Sahib Rahmat, school principal from Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampong

Parit.


The learning materials awarded to all winning projects of participating schools in both Negeri Sembilan

and Malacca created an impact reaching a total of 1,241 students. In Negeri Sembilan itself, the

Campaign had reached out to more than 300 students with the support of Caltex® users who purchased

petrol using the Caltex® JOURNEY Card from 15 October to 14 November with RM2 pledged to the

classroom projects. Funds generated were channeled towards purchasing materials such as computer

notebooks, projectors, interactive white boards, electronic dictionaries and laboratory equipment, to name

a few.

Present at the closing ceremony of the Caltex Fuel Your School campaign, Managing Director of

MyKasih Foundation, Jeffrey Perera said, “We applaud the concerted effort by all parties involved in

making the Fuel Your School campaign a success in Negeri Sembilan. We are truly grateful for the

opportunity to work with Chevron once again to create a nurturing environment for students in pursuit for

knowledge. We look forward to supporting community learning initiatives through our partnership with

Chevron.”

The Caltex Fuel Your School campaign is part of Chevron’s Energy for Learning – a global initiative

which encourages partnerships with local communities, government bodies or non-profit organisations to

expand learning opportunities as well as to support the development of both the social and economic

vitality of these communities.

“For the fourth consecutive year, we are very pleased with the project submissions and the campaign that

is helping to drive more and more schools to participate. We hope to continue this community effort and

extend it to more states in the coming years,” added Mokhtar at the closing ceremony of the Caltex Fuel

Your School campaign in Malacca.

Commenting further on the win of the RON97 Promotion, Shahid added, “It’s also very rewarding for us to know that we’ve made our winners happy.

Anything that wants to help improves the well-being of our youth and that promotes education deserves coverage. This is why this article is here. Education, especially the promotion of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics is totally important if Malaysia wants to be a developed society. We've got a lot way to go and I am glad there are companies out there that actually go out of the way to make a change. Kuddos to Caltex.

Here is a Youtube vid from a previous Fuel Your School Campaign at SJK(T) Ladang Mount Austin in Johor. Remember folks, this isn't some urban school that would have access to all forms of outside educational centers for the students to improve themselves.
