On Sept 17 2014, Eu Yan Sang officially pledged RM500,000 as the seed money for the formation of the Flagbearer Education Foundation.

This pledge is to support the education welfare of the children of the cabin crew of MH370 and MH17 with the necessary education up to tertiary level.

To date, the amount pledged has been set aside as promised towards the Flagbearer Education Foundation.

However, ongoing litigations by the affected families against Malaysian Airlines have delayed the formation of the foundation.

We have been monitoring this situation closely and have been in constant communication with relevant government officials on channeling the donation to the Foundation.

The Foundation will be launched when there is an official announcement by the relevant authorities on the closure of ongoing investigations surrounding the status of MH370.

On a personal level, my heart goes out to the affected families as the search continues for their loved ones.

We would like to reiterate that we remain fully committed to support the education welfare of children of MH370 and MH17’s cabin crews.

All pledged donations since our initial announcement in 2014 will go towards the affected families as promised.

Thank you for your understanding.
