MSIG Malaysia Teams Up With MyKasih To Support Underprivileged Students

Published

on

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 May 2026 – MSIG Insurance (Malaysia) Bhd (“MSIG Malaysia”) has pledged RM100,800.00 to the MyKasih Foundation to support the ‘Love My School’ (LMS) Cashless Bursary Programme and additional student development activities carried out with other schools. The bursary contribution is dedicated to 89 underprivileged students from SK Bukit Tadom in Banting, ensuring they have the financial support needed to pursue their education with greater peace of mind throughout the 2026 academic year.

The ‘Love My School’ bursary scheme is designed to alleviate the financial burden faced by underprivileged families in educating their children. Eligible primary and secondary students from low-income households earning less than RM1,500 per month are identified and recommended by their respective schools for sponsorship. Once approved, a monthly allowance is credited into an account linked to each student’s MyKad and MyKasih student smart card.

Students may use the smart card to purchase daily meals and beverages from the school canteen, as well as books, stationery and other learning essentials from the school bookstore.

The aid can also be extended to include back-to-school items such as uniforms, shoes, school bags and additional stationery, ensuring students are fully prepared for the academic year.

Through MSIG’s contribution, the programme is able to strengthen and expand activity-based support that complements the school’s bursary efforts and enhances students’ overall learning experience. By easing concerns over the costs of daily meals and learning necessities, it enables students to focus fully on their studies, encouraging better attendance and long-term academic progress. It is also subject to annual review based on academic performance to ensure sustained support for students who demonstrate steadfast commitment to their education.

Chief Executive Officer of MSIG Insurance (Malaysia) Bhd, Ms. Ang Yien Chia, said the contribution reflects MSIG’s commitment to meaningful, sustainable community development.

“Education is one of the most powerful tools to break the cycle of poverty. Through this structured cashless bursary programme, we aim to ease the everyday financial pressures faced by families while empowering students to attend school with dignity and confidence. By supporting SK Bukit Tadom, we are not only providing financial assistance but also investing in long-term educational outcomes.”

She added that, “In addition to the Love My School programme, MSIG has planned further community-related activities this year in collaboration with MyKasih for SK Bukit Tadom and few other schools. Our intention is to build sustained engagement with the school and its community beyond financial assistance alone.”

“Recognising the need for transparency and effective impact measurement in delivering aid, the ‘Love My School’ Cashless Bursary Programme was first implemented in 2012 to ensure that assistance is channelled directly towards educational necessities through a secure and transparent cashless system. By providing structured monthly support for meals and school essentials, we help reduce absenteeism and support better learning outcomes among underserved communities.

Beyond bursaries, MyKasih also supports adopted schools through 21st-century classroom enhancements, computer labs, robotics equipment, aquaponics edible garden projects, sports development initiatives, music, English proficiency and financial literacy programmes — all aimed at enriching students’ overall learning experience.

SK Bukit Tadom, which serves a diverse community in Banting, stands to benefit significantly from the programme. With improved academic performance and consistent attendance, the students are better positioned to access broader opportunities in the future.

Through initiatives such as the ‘Love My School’ Cashless Bursary Programme, MSIG and MyKasih hope to contribute meaningfully to breaking the cycle of poverty by ensuring that financial hardship does not stand in the way of a child’s education.

Hong Kong Disneyland Continues to Enhance Guest Experience Through Flexible Weather Adaptation Measures

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 July 2026 – As Hong Kong’s summer weather becomes increasingly unpredictable, with periods of extreme heat, high humidity, and occasional rain showers and thunderstorms, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (HKDL) continues to enhance its facilities and operations to better support guests and cast members throughout the season.

From cooling facilities and shaded rest areas to flexible operational arrangements, the initiatives are designed to provide more choices and added ease for both guests and cast members during the summer months.

Additionally, HKDL has introduced an exclusive “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket Offer for Hong Kong residents. Guests can enjoy the park from 4:00pm onwards, helping them avoid the hottest hours or periods of heavy rain, with prices starting at just HK$480.

Guests are also encouraged to stay hydrated and explore the resort’s wide selection of indoor attractions and entertainment offerings during the hottest hours of the day.

Weather-Conscious Design for a Better Guest Experience

The guest experience is supported by the resort’s planning and operations through a combination of environmental design and infrastructure enhancements. Disney Imagineers use detailed studies of sunlight, temperature, humidity and wind, supported by advanced computer simulations, to assess conditions across different areas of the park and guide design decisions.

For instance, Wayfinders’ Table in Adventureland was designed with sun exposure and ventilation needs in mind. Through the use of hard roof materials and thoughtful airflow planning, the design helps reduce heat buildup while providing shelter from rain.

Canopies, trees and fans are also used for the outdoor stage show “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” to provide shade and added relief. The park also preserves and plants trees more extensively to provide additional natural shade.

Enhancing Infrastructure to Adapt to Changing Weather Conditions

HKDL has strengthened its guest-focused infrastructure to help improve airflow and provide added cooling support in various summer weather conditions. Energy-efficient ceiling fans operate at entrances and ticketing areas, while upgraded axial fans enhance airflow in queuing zones.

The park now features approximately 860 fans, with mobile units deployed flexibly to provide cooling support where they are needed most, particularly in high-traffic areas. Portable air-conditioning units have also been added in select outdoor zones to further support ventilation.

Mist cooling systems are also available at multiple outdoor locations, while additional shade structures have been added to queuing and dining areas.

Over 40 free water dispensers are provided across the resort, with nearly half already upgraded to dispense water 50% faster, helping guests rehydrate more conveniently throughout their visit.

Supporting Cast Members Through Changing Weather Conditions

With cast member safety as a top priority, HKDL continuously reviews operational measures to support frontline teams working outdoors in varying weather conditions. Cast members are dressed in outdoor costumes made with breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics, while additional rest breaks, hydration support and access to cooling facilities are provided during periods of extreme heat and humidity.

The resort closely monitors weather conditions and proactively adjusts outdoor show schedules whenever Heat Stress at Work Warnings are issued.

Disney Ambassadors also distribute electrolyte drink powder and chilled water bottles to frontline cast members working in outdoor areas.

Cooling Fun with Pixar Summer Fest

HKDL integrates cooling moments into storytelling. Guests can conveniently transition between a wide variety of indoor attractions, dining venues and entertainment offerings located throughout the resort, helping the magic continue in changing weather conditions.

The newly launched “Pixar Summer Fest” invites guests to beat the heat with immersive entertainment. The “Pixar Water Play Street Party!” welcomes guests to join beloved Pixar characters in a lively water parade, offering refreshing fun as part of the festive atmosphere.

Guests can also chill out with refreshing Pixar-themed treats, including Lime Dole Whip with Pineapple Slush Float at Jessie’s Snack Roundup, Monsters, Inc.-inspired Mike Wazowski Ice Cream Bar, Toy Story Alien Ice Cream Bar, and Sulley-inspired Mint Chocolate Flavored Soft Serve. These playful creations offer visual delight and refreshing summer treats for guests.

Exclusively for Hong Kong residents, the “Summer Chill” 4PM Ticket offers later entry to the park for just HK$480, allowing guests to enjoy an afternoon-to-evening “Pixar Summer Fest” experience.
