35th Sports Toto Chinese New Year Ang Pow Donation Campaign
STM Lottery ushered in the Year of the Tiger by kick-starting its 35th annual Chinese New Year Ang Pow Donation Campaign on 20 January 2022. During the 5-day charitable campaign, STM Lottery contributed to a total of 123 old folks’ homes nationwide benefitting
more than 4,700 senior citizens.
“The pandemic which started in 2020 is not yet over. However, STM Lottery is happy that we are still able to continue our long-standing donation campaign and help those in need.
“In 2021, the country had undergone a series of lockdowns. Many had lost their jobs, struggling to put bread on the table. The company was also badly affected like many other businesses. However, we as a responsible corporate citizen want to continue to take care of the people in our society.
“We understand that the public have been longing for the traditional Chinese New Year donation campaign that we used to organise nationwide, but for safety reason, we are unable to do so,” said STM Lottery Sdn. Bhd. executive director Ms. Nerine Tan when
launching the campaign at the Little Sisters of the Poor in Kuala Lumpur.
The selected old folks’ homes would each receive a cash donation ranging from RM2,500 to RM10,000 as well as shopping vouchers worth RM1,500 to RM5,000, depending on the number of inmates at one home.
Tan described that the tiger as the symbol of braveness and strength and she hoped that the people and the nation will have the courage and power of the tiger to get through this difficult time.
