This year, 83 children of F&NHB employees got a reason to smile. Collectively, they received RM230,500 in cash awards for excelling in academics, co-curriculars, and university admissions.
The F&N Chairman’s Award, running since 2003, is more than just a cash prize, it’s a celebration of hard work, passion, and family support. From top exam scores to state and national-level sports achievements, the awards highlight the next generation of talent, some of whom may one day join F&N AgriValley or other F&N initiatives.
“We take pride in seeing young talent grow into capable leaders. This award recognises their hard work and the support of their families,” said YAM Tengku Syed Badarudin Jamalullail, Chairman of F&NHB.
Among the recipients:
-
Muhammad Fahim Zharfan is heading to Hochschule Kaiserslautern, Germany for Mechanical Engineering. He shared, “I’ve been learning German for two years to prepare. I hope to one day work at F&N and make a positive impact through my skills.”
-
Dhanika A/P Nagarajan will study English at Tunku Abdul Rahman University. She said, “Being accepted motivates me to work harder. I hope to inspire others with my skills in language and communication.”
-
Siti Nursuhaila binti Junaidi, pursuing International Relations at UNIMAS, reflected, “Seeing my mother’s dedication at F&N motivates me to pursue my goals with the same determination.”
-
Lau Cheng Wei, heading to KLUST for Agricultural Science (Plantation Management), shared, “I hope to contribute positively to sustainable agriculture and the future of our agri-operations.”
Parents also had their proud moments: from guidance and encouragement to sharing personal reflections on their F&N journeys, the celebration was a reminder that family support matters as much as personal effort.
With initiatives like this, F&NHB continues to champion education, personal growth, and the next generation of talent both within its workforce and the wider community.
