AmGeneral Insurance Berhad is committed to enhancing learning opportunities for underprivileged students by donating 150 laptops to eleven schools across Malaysia.
This endeavor, known as Generasi Ceria Belajar, is part of a joint corporate social responsibility (CSR) program in partnership with the Financial Industry Collective Outreach (FINCO). The initiative aligns with the government’s efforts to address financial challenges faced by the lower-income community.

This collaboration ensures that the laptops reach the schools in need, spanning across Perak, Selangor, Johor, Terengganu, Sabah, and Sarawak.
Puneet Pasricha,CEO of AmGeneral, emphasized the company’s strong commitment to providing better learning opportunities, especially for children in less fortunate circumstances. By bridging the digital divide, AmGeneral aims to equip the future generation with essential technological skills in this digitally driven era.
Furthermore, the donation of laptops echoes AmGeneral’s dedication to its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda, which includes reducing waste, reusing resources, and recycling electronics. The company believes strongly in equal educational opportunities for all, ensuring that no one is left behind.
