Kota Kinabalu: SMJ Energy Sdn Bhd (SMJE) presented a RM1 million contribution to Biasiswa Kerajaan Negeri Sabah (BKNS) during the Sabah Education Sponsorship Portal launching at Menara Kinabalu Auditorium, here, Tuesday.

The donation, which aligns with SMJE’s core values and commitment to empowering Sabah’s future generation, aims to provide financial assistance to deserving students from Sabah, particularly the underprivileged, who want to pursue higher education.

SMJE Executive Director Datuk Brenndon Soh, who presented the mock cheque to Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Haji Noor, said that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for Sabah’s children, especially those facing financial challenges.

“SMJE, through this contribution, is proud to support the Sabah State Scholarship Fund and its mission to empower deserving students to achieve their academic dreams. 

“We are not only investing in individuals but also the overall progress and prosperity of Sabah,” he said.

He said the contribution underscores SMJE’s commitment to social responsibility in Sabah by prioritising education and reflects SMJE’s unwavering dedication to equipping students with valuable skills and knowledge, helping them break the cycle of poverty and become positive contributors to their families and communities.

“By investing in Sabah’s future, SMJE’s contribution provides crucial financial relief, allowing deserving students to focus on their studies and pursue their academic aspirations,” Soh added.

The scholarships, administered through the BKNS programme, will be awarded to students who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential. SMJE aims to enable talented students to reach their full potential.

This initiative is part of SMJE’s broader corporate social responsibility efforts aimed at enhancing educational opportunities for Sabahan students. 

The company is proud to partner with BKNS in this endeavour and looks forward to witnessing the positive impact this scholarship will have on the lives of many talented students.
