Bursa Malaysia believes that community investments complement our business activities. Our main sponsorships and community investment activities include:

Yayasan Bursa Malaysia - Yayasan Bursa Malaysia (YBM) is Bursa Malaysia’s vehicle for community giving. In 2007, YBM raised RM1.5 million via The Edge-Bursa Malaysia Rat Race that was subsequently distributed to 20 selected charities. This race, which is into its ninth year in 2008, is growing bigger with increasing funds and participations from the Malaysian PLCs.

Scholarships and Management Trainees - Early 2006, Bursa Malaysia offered scholarships to five undergraduate students to pursue further education in the local universities. In 2007, RM137,000 was presented again to five different individuals under the Bursa Malaysia Scholarship program. We will consider the possibility of future employment for these graduates at Bursa Malaysia.

In addition, Bursa Malaysia engaged five graduates as management trainees in 2006 for a period of 18 months, with a view to providing future full time employment, should the trainees meet the requirements. In 2007, three graduates were engaged under the management trainee program.

Ad Hoc Donations and Sponsorships - Bursa Malaysia also provided philanthropic support to various causes on an ad hoc basis throughout the year, investing part of our profits for the greater benefit of the community.
