UMPSA raises over RM7.8mil for Tuanku Chancellor Endowment Fund

Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) and its associated charity, Yayasan UMPSA, have successfully raised over RM7.8 million for the Chancellor Endowment Fund. This significant sum was gathered through contributions from industry leaders, the community, and alumni during the UMPSA Tuanku Chancellor Fillah Golf Tournament.

Held at the Sungai Long Golf and Country Club in Kajang, the tournament was graced by Pahang Sultan Al-Sultan Abdullah Riayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, who serves as UMPSA's Chancellor. The Sultan's presence highlighted his commitment to the university's future.

Following the event, Pahang Sultan Abdullah expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming response from donors and supporters. He emphasized that the funds collected will greatly assist in implementing various planned programs and initiatives at UMPSA. Sultan Abdullah also unveiled the logo for UMPSA's Silver Jubilee celebrations, marking the university's 25th anniversary, set to take place next year.

Datuk Seri Abdul Razak Jaafar, the UMPSA Board of Directors chairman, confirmed that the amount raised surpassed the RM5 million goal, demonstrating the dedication of numerous parties to support the university's educational, research, and welfare endeavors. Sultan Abdullah further announced that, according to Tuanku's decree, this tournament will be an annual event, becoming increasingly grander and involving more contributors in the future.

The Chancellor Endowment Fund is not only dedicated to student welfare but also fosters education, research, innovation, talent development, and university facilities to ensure UMPSA remains competitive.
