LITTLE ONES EDUWORLD HONOURED AT AFFIN ISLAMIC’S OK-YOUTH CLOSING CEREMONY
At the Auditorium, Menara AFFIN@TRX in Kuala Lumpur, Little Ones Eduworld (LOE) proudly stood alongside leading organizations during the Projek OK‑Youth Closing Ceremony on 2 December 2025. The event, organized by Affin Islamic Bank Berhad in collaboration with the Ibnu Ummi Maktum Research Centre (UMMI), Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, marked the finale of the Minggu Keterangkuman Affin Islamic 2025.
The ceremony, themed “A Celebration of Inclusion and Empowerment,” brought together leaders, educators, and advocates dedicated to advancing opportunities for youth with disabilities, featuring opening remarks by the Chairperson, a keynote address by YBhg. Dato’ Paduka Syed Mashafuddin Syed Badarudin, CEO of Affin Islamic Bank, and a closing officiation by YB Hannah Yeoh, Minister of Youth and Sports, which underscored the government’s commitment to inclusive empowerment. The event was further enriched by heartfelt performances from children on the autism spectrum, who showcased their creativity through poetry and song.
One of the most meaningful moments was the presentation of contribution cheques to six organizations, namely Little Ones Eduworld (LOE), the Malaysia Federation of the Deaf (MFD), Pertubuhan Pembangunan Orang Buta Malaysia (PPOBM), Ibnu Ummi Maktum Research Centre (UMMI) at USIM, Jabatan Pendidikan Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, and Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Perak. This recognition not only celebrated their collective efforts but also affirmed LOE’s ongoing mission to provide inclusive, creative, and holistic education for children, particularly those in neurodiverse and special education programmes.
The event also featured awards for outstanding OK-Youth participants, symbolic gifts for youth icons, and heartfelt acknowledgments of contributors. The atmosphere was filled with unity, hope, and a shared sense of responsibility in building a more inclusive Malaysia.
Receiving Affin Islamic’s support is both an honour and a responsibility. For LOE, this contribution strengthens its capacity to continue nurturing children through programmes that celebrate diversity, creativity, and achievement. As 2025 draws to a close, LOE remains steadfast in its vision: empowering every child to shine, regardless of ability.
