Helping visually-impaired kids. [Newspaper] (2014)
Abstract
Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia, in collaboration with Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Noor Arfa Batik and Canon Malaysia, organised a one-day charity art exhibition called “Touching Hearts” recently. The exhibition was displayed in the lobby of Menara Standard Chartered. It was held to raise funds for Standard Chartered’s charity projects, including helping the visually-impaired students of SMK Pendidikan Khas (Cacat Penglihatan) Setapak. During the art exhibition, the bank’s staff did their bit for charity by purchasing paintings. “More than half of the 40 batik art paintings were sold,” said Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia chief information officer Datuk Arif Siddiqui. “According to the World Health Organisation, an estimated 80 per cent of global blindness is avoidable, resulting in a focused and concentrated international effort to combat avoidable blindness,” he said.
