KUALA LUMPUR: Carlsberg Malaysia launched the Carlsberg Malaysia Foundation last night in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of its Top 10 Charity Fund Raising Road Show.
At the event dubbed “Celebrating 20 Years of Fund Raising,” which was held at the Chinese Assembly Hall here, Carlsberg Brewery Malaysia Bhd managing director Soren Holm Jensen said: “The funds raised by the Top 10 Charity Road Show so far have exceeded the staggering RM290mil mark.”
The Top 10 Charity Road Show is an annual fund-raising campaign with the aim of providing aid to the development of Chinese education and advancement of local Chinese educational facilities.
The foundation will be an umbrella for all Carlsberg Malaysia’s Corporate Social Responsibility activities and the ongoing fund-raising programmes sponsored by Carlsberg Malaysia on a long-term basis.
Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting thanked Carlsberg Malaysia for its efforts.
“Chinese education began in this country even before we achieved independence. We have good friends from the non-Chinese community such as Carlsberg, which has helped us tremendously besides managing its own business,” he said.
