RM10,000 for campaign


THE “Passionately You” campaign received over RM10,000 from the CEO of Time Engineering Bhd (a GLC company focused on the ICT sector) Steven Lim recently.

The contribution goes towards the Assunta Foundation for breast and cervical cancer treatment. Present at the cheque-giving ceremony were Lim, Assunta Hospital CEO Choy Wah Wei, Asia Assistance CEO Tammy Lee and executive director of PJ Live Arts Teri Choong.

“Since the launch of ‘Passionately You’ campaign many companies and individuals have come forward to support our cause to generate greater awareness on the need for early detection of the two most common cancers that affect women.

“The Assunta Foundation is honoured that Time Engineering has stepped in to support this important cause,” Choy.

“The ICT sector is dependent on the contribution of the Malaysian workforce and this includes women.

“We recognise their value and we hope that Time Engineering’s contribution will in a small way enable the ‘Passionately You’ campaign group achieve their noble objective for women in Malaysia,” said Lim.

“We are grateful for the financial boost from Time Engineering. The funds for the tickets bought by them will undoubtedly be able to treat a good number of women who are victims of breast or cervical cancer.

“This is the first time a GLC has come forward to help in our cause. We are encouraged and hope that many more GLCs will follow their example,” said Choong.

The campaign drivers of “Passionately You” are PJ Live Arts, Assunta Hospital, Asia Assistance, and Jaya One.
