THE COMMITMENT to building sustainable futures for the young is not restricted within Malaysian borders, as clearly demonstrated by energy conglomerate Petronas. The company’s coveted Petronas Education Sponsorship Programme (PESP) extends its reach to deserving international students from far-flung territories -- areas where Petronas operates -- in a meritorious display of its belief in developing and enriching the international pool of talents. Furthermore, granting the opportunity to them underscores the company’s commitment to enrich the communities where it is present. PESP beneficiaries Fatima Chaw Su Maung from Myanmar and Alek Deng Cyer Rehan from South Sudan are such examples of Petronas’ continuous commitment to education and the organisation’s recognition that education provides the firmest foundation on which to build a sustainable future.
