TERENGGANU, Nov 12 (Bernama) -- Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) handed over the upgraded gymnasium to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Bukit Nenas in Setiu, Terengganu, a school recognised for nurturing young Malaysian athletes who have achieved international success across various sporting disciplines, through the BSN Care Sekolah Angkat MADANI 2026 programme recently.

The upgraded facilities aim to provide a safer and more conducive training environment, while supporting students in developing their sporting potential through theoretical learning and practical training.

More than 265 students also received sports jackets and bags as a source of motivation, alongside exposure to financial literacy through a briefing aimed at fostering the habit of saving and enhancing their understanding of prudent financial management.

BSN Chief Executive, Encik Mujibburrahman Abd Rashid said that supporting educational institutions forms part of BSN’s commitment to making a meaningful impact on communities, particularly in nurturing potential young athletes with resilience.

“SMK Bukit Nenas has demonstrated that sporting talent can emerge from any corner of the country when given the right support. We hope the upgraded facilities equipment will enable students to train more safely and effectively, while the sports jackets and bags will further boost their team spirit and sense of unity.

“BSN believes that empowering the younger generation requires a holistic approach, extending beyond academic achievements to include talent development, essential skills and financial knowledge to prepare them for the future,” he said.

The programme was further enlivened by the presence of Muhammad Zulkifli Abd Razak, as alumnus of SMK Bukit Nenas and national sepak takraw athlete, who shared personal experiences on how discipline and perseverance have been key drivers of success, inspiring students to pursue excellence in sports at the professional level.

In addition to Zulkifli, other notable alumni of SMK Bukit Nenas include national football players Safawi Rasid and Azam Azmi, as well as national track and field athletes Azreen Nabila Alias and Ruslem Zikry Putra Roseli.

The BSN Care Sekolah Angkat MADANI 2026 programme is part of BSN’s corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at improving facilities and enhancing the quality of the learning environment at selected schools. The initiative also supports the Government’s agenda to strengthen the national education ecosystem by promoting inclusive and equitable access to quality educational facilities.
