TUNKU ABDUL RAHMAN UNIVERSITY of Management and Technology (TAR UMT) held the official launch of its “Silent TAR UMT Fund”, made possible through a Memorandum of Agreement ceremony between The Silent Foundation and TAR UMT.
The Silent Foundation is a registered charity in Singapore and was founded by Teng Ngiek Lian, a TAR UMT alumnus and philanthropist, whose main aim is to support those often forgotten or overlooked by society, the “silent sufferers” who are frequently without a voice.
The partnership between TAR UMT and The Silent Foundation will pave the way for a lifetime pledge of RM1 million annually by the founder Teng to TAR UMT in order to support activities involving TAR UMT students.
The contribution will be allocated to three key areas of advancing research in frontier technologies, promoting racial harmony between TAR UMT students together with students from other institutions, through student exchange programmes, cultural activities, sport and many other programmes.
The foundation will also undertake initiatives to nurture socially responsible student leaders who promote kindness, sustainability and loyalty to TAR UMT.
