It is the right of every individual to be equipped with the support, skills and tools to live a life they aspire. Families can play a crucial role in building an environment to fill these needs. In Taylor’s Community, we believe in empowering families among the underserved communities as we could curb social issues from happening that are caused by the lack of family support.
The programme “KeluargaKu InspirasiKu” happened on the 29th of October 2018 with various families from PPR Sri Pantai. The programme was designed for families to understand the importance of family support, creating a family belief system and ways to improve family communication. A total of 5 families and 2 children from each family were invited to attend the programme. 
The programme promoted empathy by organising activities that allowed individuals to understand their respective roles in their families. One of the families stated that their understanding of an individual role’s in a family changed at the end of the programme. Their original perspective of an individual role’s in a family was assigned based on their gender, now they understand that every individual plays an equally important role in supporting a family.

Malaysia is well-known for a country where one can experience a multitude of culture, races, food and festivals celebrations. There were challenges and obstacles, but we surged forward with a strong sense of unity all these years since we agreed to the formation of the Federation of Malaysia on Sept 16 in 1963. This year, Taylor’s Community took the initiative to celebrate Malaysia Day with the PPR Sri Pantai community to foster the Malaysian spirit and remind our people on the sacrifices of our forefathers in achieving the independence we enjoy today.
Some 40 adults and 37 children attended the event which took place on 15th September 2018 at the community that is specially designed to develop the unity between multiracial communities in Sri Pantai and to encourage the emotional wellbeing with added joy and fun. Bringing more enjoyment to this celebration, we created children version “Kami Anak Malaysia” program for the kids to gain the same amount of benefit from this event.

It has been two years since Taylor’s Education Group partnered with CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad in a Corporate Social Responsibility microfinancing programme to help entrepreneurs from the bottom 40 per cent of household income group (B40) involved in small-medium business. The second year programme journey was marked 80% completion during the recent grant award ceremony that has granted 107 winners with close to RM500,000 worth of business grants.
Taylor’s Group Communications and CSR Manager, May Wong shared, “For the second year running this programme, it has been brought to our attention that our participants have skills, but they require further polishing and incubation. Therefore, we came out with PK2.0, a structured training process to further equip an entrepreneur with more social media marketing skills and life skills. This time around we are also giving them practical skills and individual business coaching that is crucial for them to elevate their businesses to the next level.”
The Program Keusahawanan Taylor’s-CIMB Islamic 2.0 – 2018 (PK2.0) is a programme which helps in developing the entrepreneurial abilities among the B40 communities.

According to the Department of Statistics, the percentage of Malaysia’s incidence of poverty had fallen from 49.3% in 1970 to 0.4% in 2017 – a record achievement over the last 50 years. With official statistics boasting almost no poverty in the economy, it is a startling truth that an international agency’s finding shows otherwise. Furthermore, the impact of price increases on Bottom 40% (B40) is far greater, as having a lower disposable income means compromising certain important needs, and trimming spending on basic necessities such as food and education.
In-line with the government’s aim to support the B40 households, Taylor’s Education Group has once again partnered CIMB Islamic Bank Bhd for the second year now in creating an impact to these communities. Program Keusahawanan (PK) Taylor’s-CIMB Islamic aimed to elevate the community from poverty and this entrepreneurship program targeted to equip the budding entrepreneurs from the Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) communities with core equipment needed for their business.
