Chevron Malaysia Limited, which markets the Caltex brand here in Malaysia, is allocating a total sum of RM250,000 to continue on its annual Caltex Fuel Your School campaign (“the campaign”) in partnership with MyKasih Foundation. This campaign is now in its fourth year and it aims to fund eligible classroom projects – an approach to deliver inspiring classroom sessions for students to further promote the learning of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, this year in Malacca and Negeri Sembilan. 

This year’s campaign reaches out to public schools in Malacca and Negeri Sembilan, with a total of 50 classroom projects to be awarded – 25 projects from schools in Malacca and 25 projects from schools in Negeri Sembilan. The selection of projects will be based on the creative and innovative use of requested project materials which promotes a hands-on learning experience in the classroom and meets the existing classrooms curriculum objectives. 


MyKasih Foundation has been working hand-in-hand with Chevron Malaysia to determine classroom projects that deserve to be funded through the Fuel Your School campaign. MyKasih is responsible for providing consultations to teachers and to help ensure classroom project proposals are scaled towards STEM subjects.

Anything that wants to help improves the well-being of our youth and that promotes education deserves coverage. This is why this article is here. Education, especially the promotion of Science, Technology, English and Mathematics is totally important if Malaysia wants to be a developed society. We've got a lot way to go and I am glad there are companies out there that actually go out of the way to make a change. Kuddos to Caltex.

Here is a Youtube vid from a previous Fuel Your School Campaign at SJK(T) Ladang Mount Austin in Johor. Remember folks, this isn't some urban school that would have access to all forms of outside educational centers for the students to improve themselves.
