The Community Chest

We believe that education creates opportunity, shapes individuals and ultimately the well being of the community. We believe that every Malaysian deserves quality education as it will more likely enable them to find and engage in meaningful work and contribute as citizens and to reach their full potential.

We are an independent, not-for-profit, non-governmental charitable organization established by the private sector on 8 July 2011 as a company limited by guarantee to promote and support education for the sole benefit of the Malaysian community. We are funded primarily by the profits of Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn Bhd (operating under “Da Ma Cai”) and the returns from our investments. We also accept donations from the public.

We are governed by our Board of Trustees who contribute their time voluntarily, and are supported by a team of professionals and volunteers at our subsidiary, Pusat Pengurusan Pendidikan Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

Our logo depicts who we are – at the centre of our logo is the heart, where charity begins. The 3 human forms are united in purpose and depicted in the colours of the Malaysian flag, symbolising the community spirit of neighbours helping neighbours within the multiracial Malaysian community which we serve. The white background signifies transparency and accountability, our key guiding principle. The open book represents our open minded approach and our focus on education, and the turning pages of the book signify action and our involvement in promoting learning within the community.
