Yayasan Sime Darby (YSD) is honoured to be entrusted with the mandate from the Ministry of Finance (MOF) under Belanjawan 2025. This financial commitment reinforces our efforts to advance community development, educational opportunities, environment and climate initiatives, and arts and culture across Malaysia.

Our strategic support will continue to empower local communities by enhancing leadership capabilities of residents' associations under the People's Housing Programme through collaborations with NGOs and relevant government agencies to facilitate wellbeing and development at the grassroots level, with good governance.

Addressing key social challenges such as teenage pregnancy and early intervention for autism are a priority for YSD this year. We are dedicated to increasing awareness and expanding support mechanisms within underserved communities, ensuring that every individual has the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from Malaysia's economic outgrowth.

YSD perseveres in our commitment to fostering a more resilient Malaysia which is consistent with the MADANI principles of humanity, inclusivity, and sustainability.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to MOF and Prime Minister Dato' Seri Anwar Ibrahim for their trust and support. This partnership will enable us to further our work for the wellbeing of the people. Working closely with donor companies—Sime Darby Berhad, SD Guthrie Berhad, and Sime Darby Property Berhad—as well as the GLC/GLIC network, NGOs, civil society organisations, social enterprises, and government agencies, YSD stands ready to catalyse community networks and contribute to the holistic development of our nation.
