June 14, 2023. In a remarkable act of charity, VFive, a prominent company, made a significant contribution by donating cattle for Qurban to the College of Engineering at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). This philanthropic program was organized by ICAN UiTM under the guidance of Prof. Mohamad Hariri Abdullah, while the Managing Director of VFive, Datuk Syafiq, an alumnus of UiTM’s Faculty of Business Management, played a pivotal role in facilitating the donation.
During a heartfelt ceremony held at the Bangunan Canseleri Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin in UiTM Shah Alam, a mock cheque worth RM7000.00, symbolizing the value of a cow, was presented to the College of Engineering. This generous contribution will support the college’s initiatives and foster the academic and research endeavors of its students and faculty.
Notably, several other faculties and units within UiTM were also beneficiaries of VFive’s magnanimity. Lembaga Pengarah Universiti (LPU), Majlis Eksekuti Univ (MEU), Fakulti Pentadbiran dan Polisi, Hal Ehwal Islam, Jabatan Komunikasi Korporat and ICAN were among those who received mock cheques of the same value, totaling RM70,000.00, equivalent to 10 cows.
Expressing deep gratitude, the College of Engineering extends its sincerest appreciation to VFive for their generous donation. Such acts of kindness strengthen the ties between the industry and academia, creating opportunities for growth and development within the engineering community.
In addition to the recent donation, VFive had previously sponsored an Iftar event for College of Engineering students, contributing RM30,000.00 to create a joyous and inclusive gathering. Furthermore, the company generously sponsored RM12,000.00 to support College of Engineering students participating in an international embroidery program (SULAM) held in Indonesia. These initiatives demonstrate VFive’s commitment to nurturing talent and fostering cultural exchange.
As VFive continues to progress, it is our earnest hope that they will be blessed by Allah and continue to inspire others through their philanthropic endeavors. Their unwavering support significantly contributes to the betterment of the academic community and paves the way for a brighter future.
