Chairman’s Statement

That was how Rashidie Bin Rusli, SK Polis Depot, Kuala Lumpur relayed his experience to us. It was so exciting that he felt so fortunate to be given the opportunity to be in the PMLU. When he got together with his friends who were also there with him, they shared their different experience at the other interactive exhibits which included photography, medical health, culinary, performing arts, sports and sound engineering. All these made them realise and envision the different possible future paths in store for them and how important it is that they excel in their studies.

This is just one of the many positive feedback that we received from students and teachers involved under PINTAR. Providing equitable access to quality education to children in the underserved and vulnerable communities with a holistic approach to their learning experience - is what the PINTAR Foundation has been championing since the inception of its programme in 2006. PINTAR, the acronym of Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing Talent and Advocating Responsibility continuously strives to encourage a better learning experience, to inspire and enhance the children’s motivation for success.

To date, 34 members and partners have been involved, and together they have served 352 schools where more than 650,000 students have benefi ted from the programmes and activities that have been implemented.

Our members and partners consisting of corporate organisations and Government-linked companies executed independently-run programmes at their adopted schools, guided by the Foundation’s four Core Modules that are focused on Motivation and Team Building; Education Support; Capability and Capacity Building; and Reducing Vulnerabilities and Social Issues.

PINTAR members and partners are the key contributors to the success or failure of the PINTAR Programme. They make or break the programme and I am pleased to say that thus far, our members and partners have acted responsibly as they do their best to implement programmes that are effective and meet the schools’ needs. Apart from running programmes and activities that are aimed at enhancing the academic and non-academic achievements of the schools they adopt, PINTAR members and partners bring their knowledge of their industry to schools by providing insights and enabling their students to take a peek into industries which cannot be taught in the confi nes of a classroom. In 2013, our members and partners contributed a total of RM5.8 million to implement their programmes at schools. They also adopted 43 new schools in the period under review.

I am pleased to report that in 2013, we welcomed more new members to our fold - Malaysia Airlines System Berhad (one of PINTAR’s founding partner who upgraded from Partner status), Danajamin Nasional Berhad and ValueCAP Sdn Bhd, as our latest

PINTAR Foundation Premium members. We thank them for their commitment and support and look forward to working with them closely to make a difference in their schools.

Besides being the promoter and coordinator of the PINTAR Programme, the Foundation develops and funds its National Programmes which it brings to its PINTAR schools. In 2013, the Foundation launched two PINTAR Mobile Learning Units (PMLU) under a new theme – “Nurturing Talent” where a variety of interactive exhibits in the bus provided real hands-on exposure to career choices.

The PMLUs visited 210 PINTAR schools and 13 orphanages apart from its participation in two carnivals in Johor Bahru and Negeri Sembilan. More than 70,000 students were able to experience fl ight simulation, play musical instruments, get interested in science and mathematics; and were inspired in careers such as sound engineering, photography, medicine, culinary, performing arts and sports. These children have never been exposed to such experience and we are pleased to note that after their encounter at the PMLU, the children were inspired to have an ambition.

We continue to nurture students’ creativity and encourage them to discover their artistic talents in the Arts through the PINTAR D’Arts Camp which gave students the opportunity to learn from lecturers from the Faculty of Arts and Design, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). To support the Ministry of Education’s aspiration to ensure high performing school leaders in every school, the Foundation availed its headmasters/headmistresses and the senior teachers to the Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders, a training programme designed to help school leaders become catalysts of change at their school.

As part of its fundraising initiative, the Foundation raised funds from the Bag-to-School campaign where members contributed backpacks directly to their PINTAR schools or donated funds for the purchase of backpacks. We also did a book sharing and signing event where we created further awareness on the book ‘Beating the Odds’ which was fi rst launched in Nov 2012. Targeting 7-15 year olds, the book features a collection of stories of children from underserved communities and their struggle in life. It also highlights inspiring stories on the lives of many prominent fi gures in Malaysia.

A boy entered a PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU) and his eyes immediately gleamed. It was something he had never experienced before. What caught his attention the most was the fl ight simulation section. “The facilitator showed us how to fl y and control the airplane using different sets of control panels. They showed us how to pitch up and down the airplane. I felt like we were actually controlling the airplane!”


Besides our collaboration with our members and partners in the adoption of schools, the Foundation continues to collaborate with other organisations which support us in the implementation of our programmes. Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and its Faculty of Arts and Design came on board for the fi rst time in support of our PINTAR D’Arts Camp. We also collaborated with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) and their Earth Observation Centre for our PINTAR Go Green School Programme. We continue to be engaged with British Council who provided the training and mentoring for the English Literacy Programme (ELP) sponsored by UEM Group, a teacher development programme in English.

Our PINTAR Consultancy Service for Teluk Datai Resorts Sdn Bhd’s (TDRSB) adoption of SK Ewa, Langkawi came to a close in 2013 with the school ‘graduating’ after having made good progress in the last three years. We also entered the second year of our service for UEM Group’s sponsorship of the ELP.

All our programmes and initiatives would not be of value without the feedback of our stakeholders and the evaluation and analysis of the programme outcomes. We regularly engage with our members and partners and conduct sessions to share knowledge and experience as well as get feedback on their level of satisfaction with the Foundation. Similarly, we get feedback from teachers and students on their level of satisfaction with our national programmes. We are pleased to note that the 2013 stakeholder satisfaction survey achieved a score of 93%.

Student outcomes have also shown encouraging progress. In the 2013 major national examination, for UPSR, 72.09% of students in our 166 PINTAR schools passed the exam compared to the national average of 65.43%. These positive developments include higher numeracy and literacy rate in our primary schools with Bahasa Malaysia literacy rate at 7.03% and Mathematics literacy rate at 4.28% from the previous year. Members have also reported an increase in attendance in their adopted schools and their staffs involved in their programmes were informed by the teachers of positive behavioural changes, increase in self-confi dence and active participation in class and activities.

For secondary schools, in PMR, 68.67% of students from 19 PINTAR schools passed the exam while the national average recorded 63.36% passes. Meanwhile, SPM recorded 84.07% passes of students from 20 PINTAR schools.

One of the best highlights of the year under review is the proud achievement of Ahmad Sharif Iskandar Ismail from SK Padang Pulut, Dungun, a TNB-PINTAR school, who became the best UPSR student in Terengganu. Two other PINTAR schools – SK Kuala Berang, Terengganu and SK Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar, Johor adopted by TNB and UEM Sunrise respectively, were awarded Cluster School status by the Ministry of Education. We would like to congratulate the schools and their companies for this fi ne achievement.

The Cluster School status is awarded to schools identifi ed as being excellent in its cluster from the aspects of school management and student achievement. The creation of cluster schools aims at accelerating school excellence within the Malaysian education system and developing schools that can be emulated by other schools in the same cluster and outside the cluster.

We acknowledge that there are still many underserved schools in the country that need our attention. Our challenge, therefore, is to get more corporates to come on board and adopt the needy schools. Thus, we continue to engage potential members and partners through various platforms and direct marketing to encourage them to adopt the PINTAR Programme as their CSR engagement. We cannot emphasise enough on the contribution from the corporate sector, the true hero of our adoption programme, on the possibilities that their contributions could bring to the benefi ciaries.

There remain many other challenges as the Foundation forges ahead to achieve its mission and vision. Continual funding is critical to the Foundation’s operations and sustainability, as is the need to continually remain relevant and contributing to the aspirations and achievements of the National Education Blueprint 2013-2025. The programmes and activities that the Foundation and its members implement at schools must strive towards helping students achieve High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and provide the springboard for them to be more prepared to meet the needs and challenges of the 21st century.

Through the many years of my personal experience dealing with students and education, I subscribe to the Malay proverb: “belakang parang kalau diasah akan tajam” (parang is a big knife, similar to a machete). The proverb basically means that if you sharpen the blunt edge of a parang, it will eventually become sharp. Hence, if we continue to provide opportunities to

these underserved schools and encourage the students to excel, they will eventually perform well beyond their expectations.

All these are possible with the help of all parties involved. On behalf of the Foundation, I am sincerely grateful to Khazanah Nasional Berhad, the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Finance and all State Education Departments for their support. I would also like to thank the schools involved, their headmasters/headmistresses, teachers and students who opened up their gates, welcomed us in and put their trust in the Foundation and its members. Our warmest gratitude goes to our member and partner corporations for their friendship and commitment to the PINTAR Programme and their tireless efforts to bring change and make a difference in their adopted schools. I would also like to thank our programme partners who have contributed their expertise in helping us implement our national programmes.

A special thank you is also due to my fellow Board of Trustees, for their wisdom and support. My heartfelt appreciation also goes to the management, staff of PINTAR Foundation and their families who are supportive of their commitment and dedication to this invaluable cause. A lot of travelling and time away from their family is required constantly in their job as many programmes are run across weekdays and even stretching to the weekends. Their efforts raise the bar for us to do better each year and I cannot thank you all enough.

Lastly, we appreciate the media’s support to help spread the news on our programmes, activities and achievements to the general public, thus creating awareness of PINTAR.

With this, it gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the Board, to present to you PINTAR Foundation’s Annual Report 2013.

Thank you.

Operations Review

The PINTAR Programme was launched in December 2006 and

PINTAR Foundation was established in 2008 to spearhead the

development and expansion of the PINTAR school adoption

programme. Seven years on, the PINTAR Programme has

more reach and depth as more corporations joined the

programme, more schools are adopted and all stakeholders

learned to manage and execute more effective programmes.

In 2013, the quest to expand the reach of the PINTAR

Programme continued and initiatives to increase programme

impact intensified.

Financial Performance

In the year under review, there was a concerted effort to consolidate the Foundation’s programmes and activities so that the operating expenditure is kept at a level that is in line with our sustainability strategy.

The total expenditure incurred in 2013 was RM5,047,531 representing an increase of 9.5% from the previous year. With this, the Foundation was able to continue with its National Programmes and extended its reach to more PINTAR schools whilst drawing more participation from students and teachers.

An amount of RM2,536,516 representing 50.2% of the total expenditure was spent on the implementation of PINTAR National Programmes such as PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit, PINTAR D’Arts Programme, PINTAR Go Green as well as Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders. 49.8% amounting to RM2,511,015 was channelled to HR, marketing, stakeholder engagement and administrative costs. The operating costs of the Foundation continue to be funded by the Government grant obtained in 2009. However, we obtained additional funds from consultancy service, fundraising activities, sponsorship from members and partners as well as interest income totalling RM1,569,515.

7% of total expenditure or RM362,774, was spent on marketing and on initiatives to build rapport and strengthen its relationships with various stakeholders. The expenditures were utilised to execute numerous activities which included the PINTAR Roundtables and Members’ Retreat; the Annual General Meeting, various Media Engagements and Marketing initiatives.


Making an Impact

2013 marked another eventful year indeed as the Foundation admitted three new Premium Members to the organisation, namely Malaysian Airline System Berhad (MAS) which upgraded from Partner status to Premium Member; Danajamin Nasional Berhad and Valuecap Sdn Bhd. The year under review saw 43 new schools being adopted by our members and partners, bringing it to a grand total of 352 adopted schools to date.

Our members and partners collectively conducted a total of 560 activities in their schools, involving 947 staff from their organisations as volunteers to the programme, spending RM5.8 million throughout the year. Meanwhile, PINTAR Foundation managed and implemented four national programmes in 2013. Combined with the activities of our members and partners, the PINTAR Programme has reached a total of more than 650,000 students nationwide since its inception.

We believe that the commitment of our members and partners, together with the efforts of the school leadership and teachers, have yielded positive results, which is reflected yet again in the positive key national examination results. We note that PINTAR School students have performed above the national average in UPSR and PMR. In 2013, 9.95% of students from PINTAR schools scored straight A’s in UPSR compared to the national average of 9.15%, whilst the PMR passing rate was 68.67%, which is higher than the national

average of 63.36%. Other indicators such as Attendance at PINTAR schools saw an average increase of 6.29% while in LINUS (Literacy in Bahasa Malaysia and Numeracy), PINTAR schools’ 2012 cohort has shown improvements with their rates increasing by an average of 7.03% and 4.28% respectively in 2013.

Apart from these very encouraging results, positive feedback has been received through the annual Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey conducted by the Foundation, with more than 93% of stakeholders (members, teachers and students) surveyed being satisfied with the PINTAR Programme.

National ProgrammesPINTAR National Programmes are national scale programmes designed, implemented, managed and monitored by PINTAR Foundation. Funded by the Foundation, these programmes are executed across PINTAR schools nationwide and infused with varying themes based on the three key tenets of ‘Promoting Intelligence’, ‘Nurturing Talent’ and ‘Advocating Responsibility’. PINTAR National Programmes adopt a fun and interactive approach to learning while complementing the academic curriculum and promoting education through creative, innovative and mentally stimulating methods to help students discover their talents, develop leadership and communication skills, as well as to instil good moral values.


In 2013, PINTAR Foundation implemented four national programmes: PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit, PINTAR D’Arts Literacy Programme, Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders and PINTAR Go Green School Programme.

PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit

The PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU) is a specially designed mobile learning unit equipped with activities and information based on specific themes. It is used as a platform to reach out to PINTAR students by bringing knowledge to them in a learning environment that is fun and exciting as well as being an alternative approach to conventional classroom learning.

With the success and positive feedback received so far, the Foundation invested in two buses in 2013 for the PMLU. Launched with the new theme “Nurturing Talent”, the first PMLU was officiated at Sekolah Kebangsaan Polis Depot, Kuala Lumpur and kicked off its school visits in April whereas the second bus set off in May 2013. The new theme aims to motivate and inspire the students to discover their interest and have an ambition. PMLU1 was furnished with various displays and hands-on activities related to careers such as aeronautics, sound engineering, photography, medicine, culinary arts and sports; while PMLU2 was specially designed to inspire the students’ interest in science, mathematics, art and performing arts.

Accomplishments in 2013• Theme : Nurturing Talent

• Coverage : Visited 210 Schools and 13 Orphanages

• Participants : 74,180 students and 2,762 teachers

• Achievement: 94.61% of students agreed that the experience has inspired them to have an ambition

PINTAR D’Arts Literacy Programme

PINTAR D’Arts Literacy Programme is an initiative under the ‘Nurturing Talent’ tenet which aims to nurture the creative side of the young generation by developing both the critical and creative mind.

In its second year, this programme transformed into an Arts Camp for PINTAR students in 2013. The Foundation marked another milestone when we collaborated with the Faculty of Arts and Design, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Shah Alam. At the camp, students were exposed to activities involving Art Appreciation/Exploration, Drawing, Basic Computer Graphics, Basic Photography, Batik and Creative Costume workshops.

As an extension of the camp held, students participated in the PINTAR D’Arts Competition 2013 organised at the end of the school year to stimulate the 4Cs – creativity, confidence, collaboration and cooperation among the school community. The competition which featured the ‘Kain Belacu’, saw participation from 26 schools. The top 10 designs were chosen by a panel of judges from UiTM which criteria was based on how creative the school used the cloth given to make an art piece related to the environmental theme of the competition. The top 10 schools were:

• SK Seri Delima, KL

• SK Iskandar Perdana, Perak

• SK Dato’ Seri Kamaruddin, Perak

• SK Senawang, Negeri Sembilan

• SK Padang Jawa, Selangor

• SJK (T) Klebang, Perak

• SK Sungai Selisek, Selangor

• SK Jalan Matang Buluh, Perak

• SK Gangsa, Melaka

• SK Kuala Pomson, Selangor

Accomplishment in 2013• Activity : School Holiday Art Camp

• Coverage : 34 schools

• Participants : 147 students and 38 teachers

• Achievement: 98.45% of students felt the camp has encouraged them to appreciate and

explore Arts further


PINTAR Go Green School ProgrammeThe PINTAR Go Green School Programme goes by the key tenet ‘Advocating Responsibility’ which aims to develop a generation that will adopt responsible lifestyles and attitudes towards the conservation of our environment by inculcating a healthy respect for our environment from a young age. The programme fosters the ROSE concept (Reduce, Offset, Substitute and Enhance) and environmental stewardship in students as part of PINTAR Foundation’s initiative to promote behavioural change in the attitude of individuals towards the environment.

In 2013, PINTAR Foundation partnered with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia to organise a training session for teachers from the participating schools and a workshop in SK Khir Johari, Johor. Come next year, workshops which aim to inculcate the green message through various indoor and outdoor activities through theory and practical exercises will be held at 20 PINTAR schools from the first quarter of 2014.

Accomplishments in 2013• Activity : Train-the-Trainer Teachers’ Workshop

• Participants : 35 school teachers

• Achievement: 94.2% of respondents (teachers) agreed that the workshop has

given them insights on environmental activities that can be conducted in schools and that the session has enabled them to understand the impact of climate change and encouraged them to adapt their behaviour to challenge this

Leadership Programme for PINTAR School LeadersIn line with PINTAR’s core module on “Capability and Capacity Building”, the Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL) was first introduced in September 2011. LPPSL provides awareness and understanding of key critical factors that assist school leaders in spearheading effectiveness and excellence in their schools.

In 2013, PINTAR Foundation completed the Phase 2 training for Batch 2 leaders of 2012 and hosted the third batch of school leaders in Phase 1 of the programme. The Head and senior teachers were exposed to different leadership and management perspectives and experiences, making them more aware of their role as catalyst of change in their schools.

Among the main objectives of the programme are to deepen the understanding of the school leadership role; to share the best practices in school leadership and management; as well as to provide opportunities for the school principals to apply effective management models in their leadership role in their respective schools.

The LPPSL programme is a strategic capacity building programme that recognises that highly motivated and dedicated teaching workforce is key to creating positive impact to schools and students alike.

Accomplishments in 2013• Coverage : 37 schools

• Participants : 64 school leaders

• Achievement: 96% of respondents from participating schools agreed there is a change in their school leadership and school improvement after their school leaders attended the programme

Stakeholder Engagement The success of the PINTAR Programme depends entirely on the benefaction of our stakeholders. By instilling trust as well as addressing their concerns, the Foundation was able to work closely with them to ensure the success of PINTAR programme. PINTAR’s primary engagement activities in 2013 were centred on two of its main stakeholders which are our members and partners; and the Ministry of Education (MoE).

Members’ Strategic Retreat and Monitoring & Evaluation Session

PINTAR Members’ Strategic Retreat 2013 was held from 29 November – 1 December 2013, at Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa, Langkawi. This followed the success of the first retreat which was organised in 2011, following which a decision was taken to hold the retreat once every two years.

The objective of the Strategic Retreat 2013 was to ensure

members understand and support PINTAR’s strategic direction

for the next five years and to agree on a framework for effective

monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the PINTAR Programme

implemented at PINTAR schools.

Overall, the PINTAR Members’ Strategic Retreat 2013 was a success with a 90% increase in number of members’ participation. Majority of the members felt that the discussion was beneficial. Due to time constraints, a further discussion to finalise the

M&E framework and action plans will be held in Q1 2014.

PINTAR RoundtablesSince its establishment, PINTAR Foundation has organised bi-annual Roundtable sessions for its members and partners. The Roundtables provide the platform that allows them to share their knowledge and experience, collaborate and leverage on each other well as the Foundation’s experience, in order to bring the PINTAR programme to greater heights. Two Roundtables were held in 2013.

The 19th Round Table was held on 7 March 2013 at Menara SSM@Sentral. The Foundation presented a consolidated report on the members’ progress and the total amount spent on the PINTAR programme collectively for 2012. PINTAR also took the opportunity to update and realign members on the School Adoption Process, following the guidelines drawn out by the MoE when dealing with National Schools. The highlight was the


sharing session by MoE on the newly launched Sarana Ibu Bapa and Sarana Sekolah. These are toolkits prepared by MoE to help schools engage with parents and the community to help improve the school’s performance.

The 20th Roundtable was held 7 months later on 9 October 2013 at the VIP Room, KL Sentral. It was a mid-year check point for all members and the Foundation to ascertain if any members’ programmes were in need of intervention. It was good to note that members were well on their way to completing their various programmes and were moving forward to planning for the following year’s activities. One of the guest speakers for this session was LeapEd Services Sdn Bhd, an education service provider, where Elmarié Potgieter, General Manager of LeapEd talked about their various programmes that focus on up-skilling of teachers and school leaders. Another guest speaker, Dr. Firdaus Low Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia College talked about possible collaborative avenues that members can explore with the College.

Engaging the MoE and JPNsAnother key stakeholder of the Foundation is the MoE. Without the valuable support and patronage of the MoE, the PINTAR programme is unable to move forward.

The Foundation regularly engages with the MoE and State Education Departments (SED) to update them on PINTAR’s progress. Besides creating awareness, these visits also serve to understand and capture any issues, needs or concerns that the respective SEDs might have when dealing with the Foundation or any of our members and partners. The outcomes of such visits have been good, with the MoE and SED now understanding the value of the PINTAR programme and how it benefits their students and teachers alike.

In 2013, the Foundation visited a total of six SEDs namely Kelantan, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Selangor, Johor and Labuan.

Stakeholder Satisfaction SurveyOver the last three years, a series of satisfaction surveys have been conducted annually with key stakeholder groups – PINTAR members, PINTAR School Teachers and Students, to get feedback on PINTAR Foundation and the PINTAR programme.

The survey for members focused on their perception of the Foundation and the National Programmes, whilst the survey for schools sought feedback on the quality and effectiveness of the National Programmes, their knowledge of PINTAR and the level of engagement by companies.

It is rewarding to note that members’ perception towards PINTAR Foundation and its services has increased and remained positive over the years. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvements. The teachers are consistent in their evaluation of the PINTAR programme, their knowledge of PINTAR and their engagement level with their respective companies. All indicators are positive.

Whereas from the students’ group, feedback on “Knowledge of Adopted Schools and Children” and “Engagement Level”, indicates that companies as well as PINTAR Foundation need to conduct more regular visits to their adopted schools and to engage them as well as teachers and parents more frequently.

Building Brand EquityThrough the years, the PINTAR brand has slowly, but surely gained ground. The Foundation continues to lay emphasis on building a strong and credible brand so that our stakeholders will find us trustworthy and be drawn into the PINTAR programme.

Our strategy to strengthen the PINTAR brand and to create greater awareness continues to guide us in 2013. Utilising various media to reach our target audience is foremost and in all our communication, we aim to position PINTAR Foundation as the credible NGO providing a “ready CSR-platform in education” for corporates and private organisations.

Throughout 2013, several marketing and communication initiatives were implemented to achieve the communication and marketing objectives of the Foundation.

Media EngagementsThe Foundation continued to engage with the Media for the purpose of informing PINTAR’s key stakeholders and the public of the Foundation’s mission, vision and key messages in a positive, consistent and credible manner. The goal is to forge rapport, garner attendance of journalists at our events and ensure positive editorial coverage/publicity of our events.

Working with the media allows the awareness of the Foundation and its National Programmes to be raised as well

as create an impact with the target audience, both large and small. A wide range of media is available and can be used to encourage two-way communication.

Hence, in 2013, a number of media engagement efforts which included Editors’ luncheon, media visit and securing media interviews and attendance at the Foundation’s events were implemented to secure publicity through the various media - print, online and broadcast.

Through these efforts, the Foundation was able to secure media coverage worth about RM1.5 million in 2013.

Editor’s LuncheonAs part of PINTAR Foundation’s effort in establishing good relationship with the media, an Editor’s Luncheon was held on 30 January 2013 at ZA Studios, Kampung Sungai Penchala. The luncheon served as a platform for PINTAR’s Board of Trustees and the Management team to share the Foundation’s achievements in 2012 and the plans to be implemented in 2013 with the key editors from the local media. This session was also aimed at sharing the mission and vision of PINTAR Foundation with the editors. Through this Editor’s Luncheon, it is hoped that the news coverage and media exposure on PINTAR brand will be increased.



Media Visit to BERNAMA Another media engagement effort was the Media Visit to BERNAMA. PINTAR Foundation had the opportunity to visit the premises of BERNAMA, Malaysia’s national news agency on 31 October 2013. The purpose of this visit was to build rapport and to better understand how the electronic media works. Technip Geoproduction Sdn Bhd, a PINTAR member, also joined this tour. PINTAR took the opportunity to learn more about BERNAMA’s background and their services and shared its profile and mission while ideas were discussed and exchanged for possible PINTAR and BERNAMA collaboration.

The entourage visited the newsroom, BERNAMA studios where recording and live telecasts were made, as well as BERNAMA Radio24, the first and only 24hours news broadcast radio in Malaysia.

The visit enhanced the team’s knowledge of the inner workings, technical and technological aspects of broadcast media.

Media Coverage for PINTAR Events

PINTAR events are excellent opportunities for garnering media coverage and publicity. PINTAR Foundation’s communication team continue in its effort to ensure that PINTAR events are well attended by the media. Visiting the media and meeting their need for accurate information are strategies to engage them. The launch of PMLU, the Arts Camp at UiTM, LPPSL programme, Beating the Odds book review, and the closing ceremony of SK Ewa school adoption – all these events organised by the Foundation secured good coverage as a result of pre-event visits to the media and having a good understanding of their needs.

Book and Media Review for BTOPINTAR Foundation organised a book sharing and signing ceremony at Times Book Store, Bangsar Shopping Centre on 8 July 2013. Well-known personalities featured in the publication ‘Beating the Odds’ (BTO) shared their inspiring stories.

The idea of sharing stories in a book resulted from the efforts of PINTAR Foundation to inspire the young generation as well as to enhance the motivation and success of the underserved Malaysian students through inspirational real-life stories. This publication is part of PINTAR’s fundraising efforts, where profit from the sales will be used to fund programmes across PINTAR schools in Malaysia.

The ceremony was attended by approximately 40 guests. Two of the book’s main contributors, Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop and Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Utama Arshad Ayub, were present to sign the books. Other contributors to the book were Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir, Prof. Dato’ Dr Jimmy Choo (OBE), Dato’ Bernard Chandran, Dato’ Nicol David and Datuk Lat.


Brand Messaging through Print, Online and Social MediaThe Foundation maintains regular contact with stakeholders by keeping them up-to-date with the latest news and activities of the organisation through various platforms.

The PINTAR Voices, a quarterly newsletter, keeps our stakeholders abreast of the activities and achievements of the programmes implemented by the Foundation as well as its members and partners.

Another marketing and communication tool is the PINTAR portal (www.mypintar.com.my) which continues to be the Foundation’s key communication platform on the internet. The portal is updated regularly with the Foundation’s as well as members’ and partners’ activities and events. With this, the public is able to access the latest information on the Foundation with just a click away.

The use of social media was intensified in 2013. The Foundation’s Facebook and Instagram accounts became active as the team aggressively engaged stakeholders on current affairs and happenings in real time with the Foundation’s events uploaded almost instantly.

Each communication channel plays an essential role in helping PINTAR make contact with stakeholders to effectively promote and ensure they continue to view the PINTAR brand in a positive light through consistent brand messaging.

FundraisingFundraisers like the ‘Bag-To-School’ campaign and selling our books, ‘Beating the Odds’ and ‘Malaysian Art Book for Children’ continue to be the key activities throughout 2013.

The PINTAR “Bag-To-School” Campaign is one of the Foundation’s fund raising initiatives to garner funds for the execution of its National Programmes. Besides raising funds, it is also an effort to cater backpacks to PINTAR students nationwide and to equip them with school necessities, especially for the students who come from underprivileged backgrounds.

Both initiatives have so far progressed positively with the support of PINTAR members and partners, and have since succeeded in generating a total sales of RM52,318 while receiving an additional contribution of RM7,500 from PINTAR members.


Special ProjectEnglish Literacy Programme Sponsored by UEM Group Berhad

The English Literacy Programme (ELP) sponsored by UEM Group focuses on strengthening the teaching and learning of the English language through capacity building using a variety of methods. The programme is in its second year of implementation, training a group of 100 teachers from 50 PINTAR UEM schools. The programme enables teachers to improve the way they teach English - in an effective manner that will help enhance the way students learn the language and ultimately to be able to speak and write in English.

The ELP recorded a significant achievement in its first year which saw more than 50% of teachers move up from each of their baseline in the Teacher Development Index (TDI) by one band. TDI essentially measures teachers’ proficiency in terms of mastering their teaching skills and techniques.

In 2013, the key milestones of the ELP was completed, with teachers’ face-to-face training workshops and mentoring visits by British Council conducted as scheduled. Following the UEM Volunteers’ training on the ‘Learn English Family’ (LEF) programme in 2012, the project moved on to actively engage with parents in promoting literacy at an early age among the students. UEM Group staff acted as volunteers to deliver the LEF workshops whilst the Foundation staff co-ordinated and supported the workshops. The LEF workshops were conducted and completed in 31 out of 50 PINTAR UEM schools, with an average of 15 parents and 3 staff volunteers

attending at each of the schools. To date, a few of the schools have followed up with their own reading club, a definite achievement under this programme.

ELP is fully funded by UEM Group Berhad, and is managed, co-ordinated and monitored by PINTAR Foundation. The British Council, noted for its expertise in managing and delivering educational projects in diverse communities, was appointed by the Foundation as the Programme Partner to design and deliver the teacher development programme over three years.

PINTAR Consultancy ServiceTeluk Datai Resorts Sdn Bhd

PINTAR Foundation was appointed by Teluk Datai Resorts Sdn Bhd (TDRSB) in 2011 to facilitate the execution and implementation of programmes at its adopted school, SK Ewa in Langkawi, under PINTAR Foundation’s Consultancy Service. 2013 marked the end of the three-year period of TDRSB’s adoption of SK Ewa. Over the three years, PINTAR and TDRSB had conducted various activities including training and workshops for students to prepare them for the UPSR examination, reading month campaigns, extra tuition classes, social responsibility activities as well as motivational courses for the students and teachers.

SK Ewa has shown notable achievements and accomplishments with the increase in passing rate for UPSR from 49.3% (baseline year: 2010) to 53.57% in 2013. SK Ewa has also received two awards in 2013 – Anugerah Peningkatan Prestasi Tiga Tahun Berturut-turut (UPSR) and Anugerah Peningkatan GPS (UPSR) Tiga Tahun Berturut-turut. On top of these achievements, SK Ewa also achieved 100% in the LINUS rate for its Standard 3 students.


Employee Development

The Foundation values the role of its staff and the contributions they make to the success of the PINTAR Programme and the smooth operations of the Foundation. As the backbone of the organisation, their continued wellbeing cannot be over-emphasised. As such, the Foundation is committed to providing a safe and conducive work environment and culture in which their welfare is assured. In addition, the Foundation continues to place emphasis on building their capabilities and improving work processes by leveraging on internal and external best practices.

With many young staff employed by the Foundation, our HR strategy is to provide them with the relevant training and development, to help hone their skills and inculcate their loyalty.

PINTAR Foundation has 21 staff and in 2013, training programmes were organised where all staff participated in programmes conducted by external trainers on Presentation Skills; Business Writing and Changing Self and Personal Development, where each employee received an average of 6 training days.

Moving Forward

2013 has been a fulfilling and challenging year for PINTAR Foundation. The year under review saw a net increase in the number of PINTAR schools being adopted. Nevertheless, the Foundation is very much aware of the need to enlist members to adopt more new schools to ensure the healthy growth of these new schools. At the same time, there is a need to bring in new members so that the organic growth can be expedited. Despite the efforts made in 2013, it remains a challenge and our marketing efforts will intensify through more focussed funnelling and identifying the right potential corporates who share the same value of the Foundation.

Fundraising remain a priority to ensure the Foundation secures substantial funds to sustain the operations of the Foundation and its National Programmes. Various grant applications were made, many of which we are still awaiting outcomes, but we are cautiously optimistic that some funds will be forthcoming in 2014.

The Foundation worked on strengthening its National Programmes and in 2013, it was able to improve its reach of more schools through the provision of two PMLU buses. ‘Do good for more’ will continue to be our battle cry as we explore and develop other new and effective programmes, and look for opportunities to collaborate with other organisations to strengthen our National Programmes.

At the same time, it is important that we are able to measure and report on the impact of the PINTAR Programme. Increasingly, our stakeholders demand it. Understanding the need for effective M&E, the Foundation developed an M&E framework to guide its members and partners to measure the impact of their programmes at their respective schools. A follow-up workshop will be conducted in the first quarter of 2014 to finalise the framework, and then inform and share, as well as agree with our members on its reporting. We aim to standardise M&E across all companies so that the reporting can be consistent, facilitating the Foundation’s overall reporting of the PINTAR Programme to its stakeholders.

PINTAR Foundation remains steadfast in its mission and will continue to engage and work closely with our members and corporates in Malaysia to grow the PINTAR programme. We aim to be the most sought after Foundation with whom many corporate companies want to be in partnership with to promote their CSR in Education.

Our corporate objective is for PINTAR Foundation to become the Centre of Excellence for the school adoption programme and thus support the government in its national initiatives on human capital development.

Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders

PINTAR D’Arts Literacy Programme - National Art Competition

PINTAR Go Green Programme

English Literacy Programme (ELP)

“This programme is about experimenting different ways and gaining new knowledge to ensure the success of the school. With the introduction of this programme and the knowledge and skills acquired, I hope to encourage the school management to support this initiative and create an impact on the school, leading it to an Excellent School status thus allowing the school leaders to have a chance to be exceptional in what they do.”

“The experience gained from participating is one I will not trade for anything. I especially loved the sharing session by the artist, sharing his experiences and drawing techniques. Overall, this is a very

good programme and I hope that PINTAR can do similar programmes every year. I truly enjoyed myself.”

“The Green Rose Programme was very exciting! We used everyday items to build handy tools such as a rain gauge, an anemometer and a wind vane. It was so much fun putting the tools that we built to use. We managed to determine the direction and the speed of the wind after a few tries. We also got to make a bookmark from pressed fl owers. Thanks to this campaign, our school is now looking more beautiful after having the pledge wall and the mural project. I feel much happier coming to school.”

“I love the programme so much! The methodologies shared in the programme are very useful. I feel that it has improved my teaching techniques, enabling my students to be more creative and more involved in the English subject. I hope PINTAR can do similar programmes for other subjects as well as it can benefi t more teachers and students.”

“The exterior of the bus looks different from any other buses I have seen. Once I entered, it was beyond my expectation. There were various activities like bowling (sports), photography, health (medicine), airplane

simulation and sound engineering. What caught my attention the most was the aviation section. The facilitator showed us how to fl y and control the airplane using different sets of control panels. They showed us how to

pitch up and down the airplane. I felt like we were actually controlling the airplane! The PMLU was a really good experience, never before experienced in school. I will defi nitely tell my friends about

the awesome experience.”

Independent Auditors’ Report to the Members of PINTAR Foundation(Incorporated in Malaysia)

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of PINTAR Foundation, which comprise the balance sheet of the Company as at 31 December 2013, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes, as set out on pages 51 to 63.

Trustees’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Trustees of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The Trustees are also responsible for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Trustees, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2013 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.

Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2013

1. Corporate InformationThe principal activities of the Company are to enhance

the education, development of human capital in nation building which will benefit the Malaysian society and community at large. There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the financial year.

The Company is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia. The registered office of the Company is located at Level 33, Tower 2, Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Trustees in accordance with a resolution of the Trustees on 6 June 2014.

2. Significant Accounting Policies 2.1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), which is in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Company’s functional currency.

2.2 Changes in Accounting PoliciesThe new and revised MFRSs, which are mandatory

for companies with financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2013, did not give rise to any significant effects on the financial statements of the Company.

2.3 Standards Issued but not Yet EffectiveThe directors expect that the new MFRSs which

are issued but not yet effective for the financial year ended 31 December 2013 will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application.

2.4 Signifi cant Accounting Estimates and JudgmentsThe preparation of financial statements in

accordance with MFRSs requires the use of certain

accounting estimates and exercise of judgments. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future events and other factors.

The directors are of the opinion that there are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

2.5 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Property and EquipmentAll items of property and equipment are

initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Subsequent to recognition, property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed on a straight-line over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Computer software 3 years Website development 3 years Renovation tenancy period Furniture and Fittings tenancy period Office equipment 3 years Computer equipment 3 years Motor vehicle 5 years

The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future


2. Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.) (2.5) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d.)

economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.

(b) Government GrantGovernment grants are recognised at their fair

value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all conditions attached will be met. Government grants relating to income, shall be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to an asset, are amortised to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments or presented in the balance sheet by deducting the grants in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset.

(c) Income Tax (i) Current Tax

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

(d) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.

An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately

identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)).

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(e) Financial AssetsFinancial assets are recognised in the balance

sheet when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.

When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.



(i) Loans and Receivables Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables.

Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process.

(f) Impairment of Financial Assets (i) Receivables

To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Company considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments.

If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets.

If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

(g) Financial LiabilitiesFinancial liabilities are classified according to

the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability.

The definition of the risks are as follows:

(a) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that funds will not be available to meet liabilities as and when they fall due. The Company actively manages these risks by maintaining good governance over the cash management of the government grants and operates within clearly defined guidelines that are approved by the Trustees.

Other payables 733,663 368,973

(b) Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding financial instruments should a counterparty default on its obligations. The Company’s exposure to credit risk arises from other receivables and cash and bank balances.

Other receivables are due from creditworthy debtors with good payment records with the Company. The cash and bank balances of the Company are placed with reputable financial institutions or companies with high credit ratings and no history of default. At the reporting date, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the other receivables and cash and bank balances.


13. Capital Management The Company manages its capital by following the Company’s policies and guidelines and also seeks approval from the Trustees with regard to all capital management matters. Presently, the Company’s activities are funded via government grant and contribution from members.

14. Fair ValuesThe fair values of all financial assets and liability approximate the carrying amounts due to their relative short term

maturities.
