TDM Berhad (“TDM” or “the Group”) remains committed to  continuing the RM100,000 sponsorship to support outstanding B40 students for the “YT-TI Young Talent  Scholarship Programme”. The Signing Ceremony at Wisma Darul Iman today was officiated and witnessed by YB Dato' Ustaz Satiful Bahri bin Mamat, Chairman of the Committee on Education, Higher Education, Science,  Technology, and Human Development, accompanied by YBM Tengku Seri Bijaya Raja (Dato' Seri Tengku Farok  Hussin Tengku Abdul Jalil), State Secretary of Terengganu and Chairman of TDM, and YB Dato' Razali Che Ani,  Legal Advisor of the State of Terengganu. Representing the company in signing the agreement was Haji Najman  Kamaruddin, Executive Director of TDM.

TDM, along with other Government-Linked Companies (“GLCs”) under the Terengganu Inc (“TI”) Group,  complements the funding for Yayasan Terengganu (“YT”)’s existing sponsorship programs. Congratulations to  the ten (10) students who have successfully received scholarships today. 

YT implements these programs professionally, adhering to industry standards. This strategic collaboration  supports the State Government’s commitment to advancing the education sector and human capital  development, helping to uncover exceptional talents among the people of Terengganu. 

Haji Najman Kamaruddin, Executive Director of TDM, said, “This initiative is one of TDM’s Corporate Social  Responsibility (CSR) efforts in supporting educational development, in line with the Company’s mission to  embody a corporate model consistent with Shariah compliant status. To ensure the robustness of our  Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework, we support an ESG framework that positively impacts  the business and communities where we operate. This effort is in line with the Sustainable Development  Agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), specifically SDG 4, which focuses  on providing quality education access to graduates, and SDG 8, which promotes sustainable economic growth.” 

TDM consistently supports the State Government's initiatives and programs, particularly those aimed at  enhancing education. This commitment is evident through the Terengganu Sejahtera Master Plan (PITAS) 2030  initiative, specifically strategic core action plan 1, which focuses on reinforcing Shariah implementation and  strengthening education.

The objective of this plan is to empower Shariah law and ensure educational sustainability based on Rabbani  values, lifelong learning, and the internationalization of Terengganu's education. This core also includes a  scholarship fund for outstanding students from Terengganu pursuing undergraduate studies. 

The scholarship prioritizes the welfare of Terengganu residents, while non-residents must have lived in the  state for at least 10 years and demonstrate strong co-curricular records at the state or national level. 

The YT-TI scholarship targets low-income families, or B40 groups, and is open to exceptional students from  Foundation or Matriculation programs, the Malaysian Higher School Certificate (STPM), and the Malaysian  Higher Religious Certificate (STAM), to further their studies at local universities in selected fields, subject to  stipulated conditions. The scholarship supports programs in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data  Science, Muamalat Law, Corporate Administration, Health Sciences (Physiotherapy), and Plantation  Management. 

These programs address the demands of the global job market, contributing to the development of a high performance workforce. The YT-TI scholarship enables graduates to cultivate their talents and expertise within  the state, potentially working with companies under the Terengganu Inc Group, including TDM, or with the  State Government and its agencies that require such specialized skills. 

“Therefore, through the YT-TI Scholarship sponsorship program, TDM hopes that more Terengganu children  from B40 families will have the opportunity to pursue higher education in an effort to improve their family's  socioeconomic status ,” added Haji Najman Kamaruddin.
