Kapar: The Eco World Foundation remains committed to supporting the national education policy through the sponsorship of a knowledge capsule, which also serves as a mini library and activity pod, for Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Ying Wah, Kapar.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Eco World Foundation chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye stated that the initiative was aimed at cultivating a love for reading among students and inspiring the younger generation to embrace learning, especially in the digital age. Eco Sanctuary, as part of the Eco World Foundation, provides RM42,000 in full sponsorship to realise the knowledge capsule, which was completed in just three weeks, reflecting the team’s continued commitment to national education.

This knowledge capsule is designed not only as a reading space but also as a place that sparks curiosity among learners eager to discover diverse areas of knowledge. Lee highlighted at the launch of the Knowledge Capsule at SJKC Ying Wah that it also offers teachers the chance to engage students in activities such as storytelling and knowledge sharing, enriching classroom learning.

SJKC Ying Wah is the third school this year to benefit from the foundation’s Knowledge Capsule initiative, bringing the total contribution to RM162,000. The school was selected as 20 of its students are part of the Eco World Foundation Student Assistance Programme, which has benefitted 2,000 students nationwide, aiding the less fortunate in pursuing knowledge.

The Knowledge Capsule handover ceremony was attended by SJKC Ying Wah headmaster Low Chee Xiang, Board of Governors chairman Lim Teng Huat, Parent-Teacher Association (PIBG) chairman Lee Biau Gan, and Alumni Association chairman Tan Cheng Yap. The open-concept learning pod, equipped with air conditioning, floor seating, and modest furnishings, offers a cosy and attractive space for learning.

Strategically located in the centre of the school compound, next to the canteen and hall, the Knowledge Capsule is accessible to students daily during recess starting at 10 am. Each class has a one-hour weekly session to carry out reading or other learning activities in the capsule.
