OSK Foundation Scholarship 2021

September 2021

In helping to realise the tertiary aspirations of deserving Malaysian students from lower-income families, OSKVI was part of the panel of interviewers shortlisting the final candidates for the OSK Foundation Scholarship 2021 programme. A total of 20 scholars pursuing full-time undergraduate studies in two public universities (University of Malaya and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia) and four private universities (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, TAR University College, HELP University and Taylor’s University) were selected with a full scholarship value of RM1.5 million.

‘Books on the Move’ and ‘Joy of Toys’ Campaign

October 2021

OSKVI joined OSK Foundation in a preloved books and toys donation drive at Plaza OSK during the year. The pre-loved books collected were donated to Books on the Move which will be circulated free of charge to community libraries in KL Gateway Mall, the LINC KL, and Paradigm Mall. BOTM is a global book sharing movement to get people reading on their daily commutes and to help increase literacy within the urban community.

Five boxes of pre-loved toys were donated to Toy Libraries Malaysia, which has set up the SS3 Creative Hub in Petaling Jaya. The non-profit hub provides drop-off space for preloved toys and children’s books, as well as a community toy library. All donated items from the public were channeled to toy libraries set up in both urban and rural areas to benefit children from underprivileged communities.

Appreciating COVID-19 Frontliners

August 2021

In expressing our gratitude towards the dedication and sacrifice shown by our frontliners in battling COVID-19, OSKVI sent Care Packs to 160 frontliners who were on duty at Klinik Kesihatan Hospital Sungai Buloh to spread some cheer.

3R Sustainability Campaign

January - December 2021

OSKVI participated in a 3R Sustainability Campaign in where our employees practice segregating office wastes for recycling. Together with other OSK Group offices, we jointly collected a total of 527 kg of recyclable wastes comprising used office paper, cardboard boxes and magazines, old newspaper and steel with the proceeds fully donated to the Lovely Disabled Home Recycling Centre, a non-governmental and non-profit charity organisation that provides job opportunities for physically and mentally-challenged adults.

Books on the Move

September - November 2020

We teamed up with OSK Foundation in a book donation drive to encourage the habit of reading in the urban community. All preloved books contributed by OSKVI and OSK Group employees were donated to 'Books on the Move', the local chapter of a non-profit global movement that aims to get people reading on their daily commutes. We collected more than 200 books which were distribution free of charge to community libraries in KL Gateway Mall, the LINC KL, and Paradigm Mall.

Sharing the Gifts of Hope during Diwali

13 November 2020

The Gifts of Hope ("GOH"), a signature programme of OSKF, reaches out to the less fortunate to celebrate major festive events with them, to share the joy of togetherness, while contributing cash and in-kind donations to support their daily needs. OSKVI shared some festive cheer with children and young adults in Pertubuhan Kebajikan Yesuvin Mahligai (YM), Pusat Jagaan Kanak-kanak Istimewa Lagenda, and Rumah Kebajikan Karunai Illam ahead of the Deepavali festive celebration. Although no physical activities were carried out due to Conditional MCO during that time, we delivered our grocery contributions together with those from OSKF and OSK Group employees.

OSKians Visited Palliative Home in Conjunction with CNY Celebration

24 January 2020

OSK Foundation ("OSKF") volunteers through our Gifts of Hope programme visited Pertubuhan Kebajikan Rumah Kasih Jing Yuan just a week before the Lunar New Year to bring cheer to the home's residents. The home, which provides free accommodation and medical care for underprivileged patients with serious disability and/or life-limiting conditions, currently houses 26 patients at two different premises in Setapak and Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

We brought along with us items donated by OSKians and Plaza OSK tenant including Milo, wet wipes, antiseptic liquid and shower liquid (a big thank you to everyone!). During the visit, volunteers spent time with the residents making craft lanterns, followed by a karaoke singing session that included well-known and evergreen Chinese New Year songs.

The mood was further enlivened when the God of Prosperity turned up and gave out mandarin oranges to the residents, followed by a sumptuous lunch. It was a rewarding and heart-warming experience when we saw the residents expressing their appreciation with a broad smile on their faces.

For them, the visit was not about the red angpow packets or our contribution, but about the care and attention they received at this time of the year when many are celebrating Chinese New Year with friends and family. OSKF also made a cash contribution to support the operational expenditure of the home.
