Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB) is strengthening its commitment to empowering youths in Johor and fostering talent development, via two impactful initiatives launched at the Johor Youth Meet Up organised by Majlis Belia Negeri Johor (MBNJ), graced by Duli Yang Amat Mulia (DYAM) Tunku Mahkota Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Pemangku Sultan Johor.
The first initiative, the “Dana Ilmu IIB untuk Orang Muda Johor” scholarship fund, is allocating RM300,000 to sponsor up to 60 underprivileged students to pursue undergraduate degrees at Foundation, Diploma or Bachelor’s levels in EduCity institutions.
In addition, to support the cultivation of future global leaders, IIB is also making an RM50,000 donation to the Dato’ Onn Institute’s Johor Global Leadership Nexus Programme, offering young Johoreans valuable international exposure and experience through diversified courses overseas, to equip them with internationally acclaimed modules, benchmark practices and globally endorsed initiatives for them to contribute meaningfully to the development of Johor and Malaysia.
“These two initiatives underscore IIB’s unwavering commitment to elevating education, social welfare and sustainable development as key pillars for Johor’s progress and prosperity. We believe that empowered youth are the cornerstone of the state’s development and advancement. Therefore, by investing in education and leadership development, we aim to nurture educational excellence and enhance career prospects among young people to not only uplift their socioeconomic well-being but also enable them to achieve their full potential and ability to contribute to the state and nation,” said Dato’ Idzham Mohd Hashim, President/Chief Executive of Iskandar Investment Berhad.
