George Town, 6 December 2025 — This morning, the atmosphere was filled with hope and generosity as Deputy Chief Minister II Jagdeep Singh took part in the annual full sets of school uniform donation programme, organised by Sree Ayappan Seva Samajam Pulau Pinang. Celebrating over 15 years of community service, the event brought together volunteers and families united by a common goal — to support underprivileged students and pave the way for brighter futures.

 

This year’s initiative benefited 70 students from three Tamil schools—SJKT Azad, SJKT Rajaji, and SJKT Bayan Lepas—along with children from other schools across Penang. The donation of new uniforms is more than just clothing; it’s a symbol of hope, opportunity, and community solidarity. For many families, especially single mothers struggling to make ends meet, this support eases the financial strain as the new school year approaches in 2026.

 

In his heartfelt address, Deputy Chief Minister Jagdeep Singh spoke passionately about the transformative power of education. “Every child deserves the chance to learn, to grow, and to succeed,” he said. “This programme is a reminder that we, as a community and a government, must do everything we can to ensure no child is held back by financial hardship.”

 

Sharing a personal story, Jagdeep Singh revealed how scholarships and educational opportunities changed his life during challenging times. “It was through scholarships that I was able to study Law during my family’s most difficult period. I believe that every child, regardless of their background, should have access to the same opportunities to turn their dreams into reality,” he expressed with conviction.

 

The Deputy Chief Minister’s words resonated deeply with attendees, inspiring hope and reaffirming the government’s unwavering commitment to inclusive education. As the event concluded, there was a palpable sense of community spirit and shared responsibility — a collective effort to nurture the next generation of leaders, professionals, and change-makers.

 

This programme exemplifies how compassion and collaboration can make a tangible difference. With ongoing support and initiatives like this, Penang continues to champion a future where every child has the means and access to education, ensuring they can reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
