TAIPING — The government has allocated RM869 million for the Supplementary Food Scheme (RMT) this year to support students from hardcore poor families.  

Deputy Education Minister Wong Kah Woh said the allocation had increased by about 10% from last year’s RM784 million.  

“The RMT allocation aims to provide nutritious, balanced meals for children in need,” he said at the 12th Toyo Tyre Education Financial Assistance Programme by Toyo Tyre Malaysia Sdn Bhd (TTM) today.  

Wong said that the Ministry of Education (MoE), as one of the ministries receiving the largest annual allocations, provides 18 types of assistance for primary and secondary students. These include the Early School Assistance (BAP) scheme, which helps ease financial burdens on parents.  

He also expressed appreciation for TTM’s leadership in corporate social responsibility efforts.  

“Toyo Tyre Malaysia sets an example of how companies can integrate ESG (environmental, social, and governance) principles into their business models, maintaining financial strength while positively impacting the community by supporting education.  

“I urge other companies to join in efforts to create a more inclusive and resilient society,” he said.  

Meanwhile, TTM president and managing director Mike Toh said the company had allocated RM186,600 for the Toyo Tyre Education Financial Assistance Programme this year.  

Since its launch in 2013, the programme has provided RM1.93 million in aid, benefiting over 500 school and university students in and around Taiping. — February 22, 2025
