ASIA Records is proud to officially recognise Persatuan Amal Semangat Semut (PASS) for achieving a significant continental milestone as the: Largest Cumulative-Reach Financial Literacy and Anti-Scam Education Program for Orphans Implemented by an NGO With Full Donation Distribution (2,328 orphans cumulatively served, monetary and in-kind sponsorships exceeding MYR 2 million, one program event conducted per year across 2023–2026).
This milestone reflects the organisation’s unwavering dedication to empowering vulnerable communities through structured financial literacy, scam prevention awareness, and transparent, responsible stewardship of charitable resources.
Strengthening Financial Literacy and Scam Awareness Among Orphans
Through its annual anti-scam and financial literacy initiatives under the antNERGY Anti-Scam Awareness Marathon, PASS has systematically implemented one major program event per year from 2023 to 2026, ensuring sustained outreach and measurable cumulative impact.
To date, the initiative has served 2,328 orphans, while mobilising more than MYR 2 million in monetary and in-kind sponsorships, with full distribution directed towards beneficiary programmes and community support efforts.
The structured approach integrates educational content, awareness campaigns, and community collaboration — transforming financial literacy from a theoretical concept into accessible, practical knowledge for young beneficiaries.
By combining social responsibility with operational transparency, PASS has set a benchmark for NGO-led education programmes that are both scalable and accountable.
