Extract from News Strait Time, 30/11/09: http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/articles/23lion/Article/index_html

2009/11/30

PETALING JAYA: The Lion Group educational and charitable foundation yesterday launched its website at Sunway Pyramid shopping mall.


The website features a symbol of a rising sun spreading its rays, "symbolizing the giving of hope and extending assistance to the less fortunate".

The website, www.lion-parksonfoundation.com.my, is designed to give the foundation a more independent profile.

Previously, all information about the foundation and its activities was published on the Lion Group's main website.

As well as providing information about the foundation's core objectives, the student loans and scholarships available for higher learning are also featured.

At the launch, foundation chairman Puan Sri Chelsia Cheng said: "Students can access information on the foundation and our activities. The website is also linked to the Lion Group of companies and it highlights job vacancies."

She said the website would soon incorporate a database on the foundation's scholars, allowing them to network and act as role models for those still studying.

Tan Shi Win, 24, is one scholar who has benefited from the foundation. After receiving a bachelor's degree in accountancy from University Utara Malaysia, she was employed in the Lion Group as personal assistant to one of its senior managers.

"I have learned a lot through the foundation and from the training I received when I graduated from university. I'm enjoying myself and learning a lot from my work in the company."
