SELANGOR: The Eco World Foundation officially handed over a book kiosk to SK Bandar Rinching on June 11, 2025. The ceremony was attended by Eco World Foundation chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, Eco World Development Group Bhd (Eco World) president and chief executive officer Datuk Chang Khim Wah, divisional general manager Evon Yap and SK Bandar Rinching Headmaster Azril Sham bin Mohamed.
Located in Semenyih, SK Bandar Rinching serves 2,700 students and the new book kiosk aims to foster a love for reading within the school community. Fully funded by Eco Majestic with a generous contribution of RM75,000, the project began in February 2025 and was completed by mid-March 2025.
Though not yet open to the public, the kiosk will soon launch, providing students and staff with access to diverse reading materials twice a month. This initiative follows the foundation's past contributions, including the donation of 150 desks and chairs worth RM25,000 in December 2023.
“The book kiosk at SK Bandar Rinching was developed with a clear purpose. To cultivate a stronger reading culture among students and the wider school community. We wanted to make books easily accessible and ensure that reading becomes an engaging and enjoyable part of everyday life. Even before its official launch, the enthusiasm shown by both teachers and students has been truly encouraging. We believe this kiosk will grow into a vibrant hub of learning, curiosity and inspiration,” said Lee.
“At Eco World Foundation, we believe education is the cornerstone of a better future and every child should have access to the tools that help them thrive. Reading is one of the most powerful ways to unlock knowledge, creativity and opportunity. This kiosk represents more than just a CSR project. It reflects our deep and ongoing commitment to educational empowerment. My heartfelt thanks to the Eco Majestic team for their strong support in bringing this meaningful initiative to life,” he added.
