YAYASAN TM’s ‘PROGRAM CAHAYA RAMADAN’ CONTINUES TO BRING JOY TO THE LESS FORTUNATE COMMUNITIES
KUALA LUMPUR, 22 March 2024 – TM, through its social foundation arm, Yayasan TM (YTM),
announces the continuation of its ‘Program Cahaya Ramadan’. This year, the programme
allocates RM320,000 to aid approximately 3,000 beneficiaries across Malaysia, including asnaf,
orphans, B40 families, single mothers, Persons with Disabilities (PWD), tahfiz students, and the
Orang Asli community.
The initiative, mobilised through our state offices nationwide, focuses on distributing food
baskets and raya essential items such as baju raya and duit raya (cash) to the identified
beneficiaries during Ramadan.
Ainol Shaharina Sahar, Director of Yayasan TM said, “It is our honour to once again initiate the
‘Program Cahaya Ramadan’, extending our hand in solidarity to those in need during this
reflective and benevolent time of year. Our goal is to alleviate the hardships of our beneficiaries,
ensuring they too can share in the joy and togetherness that Ramadan brings. We aim to foster
a sense of community and hope, particularly among children, as they observe the sacred month
and look forward to Eid ul-Fitr celebrations.”
In addition to these efforts, YTM is launching the ‘Dana Kasih Yayasan TM’ fundraising
campaign, aiming to raise RM30,000 to specifically assist Orang Asli families in Pos Kuala Mu,
Sungai Siput, Perak. This campaign focuses on gathering funds to provide these families with
essential food supplies for Ramadan, aiming to ensure they have the resources needed for a
fulfilling festive period. The public is encouraged to support this noble cause by making donations
through YTM’s bank account at 14180010000426 (Bank Islam). For further details, please visit
YTM’s social media channels.
In 2023, YTM’s ‘Program Cahaya Ramadan’ has benefitted more than 3,000 beneficiaries
through over 20 programmes across the country. YTM collaborated with Pejabat Ahli Parlimen
Lembah Pantai to organise the programme which was attended by its Member of Parliament,
YB Fahmi Fadzil.
As the programme continues to grow and reach more communities, YTM remains dedicated to
nurturing hope, fostering solidarity, and creating lasting impacts in the lives of the underserved,
reinforcing its goal of a more inclusive and supportive society.

It is indeed a necessary response to the serious economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

All of us at TM pray for the safety and health of all Malaysians nationwide; stay safe and ensure that we get vaccinated - together may we return stronger," he concluded.

TM is also offering its suitable venues nationwide for PPV, drive through and mobile unit stations. Today, its Multimedia University Melaka campus begins its operations as a PPV facility for JKJAV. TM also connects PPVs nationwide with internet access services to enable the frontliners, medical teams, volunteers as well as members of the public to stay connected during the vaccination process. More than RM8.0 million has been channeled for nation building initiatives to date; in terms of medical and non-medical humanitarian aid for communities in need during the pandemic. Most recently, TM has also set up Tabung Solidarity COVID-19 TM as a continuation of the employee donation drive last year, which has already raised and disbursed RM800,000 to various causes. Thus far, TM Board members and Warga TM have pledged another RM600,000 for the fund through voluntary salary and allowance deduction. The contribution is matched by the company to total RM1.2 million to date. The donation will be channelled to the government's Akaun Amanah Bencana. TM also continues to support the nation and communities in need through connectivity initiatives such as Jaringan Prihatin, CERDIK and MYBAIKHATI. TM reiterates its commitment to ensure the safety and health of customers and Warga TM with special working arrangements implemented and enhanced SOPs towards business and customer service continuity. The Company will continually monitor for developments on the ongoing situation, adhere to the SOPs under the specific phases detailed out by MKN and adapt its services to help customers, whenever needed as the safety of its employees and members of the public are of paramount importance.
