Back for the fourth year, McDonald’s Malaysia’s Anugerah Guru Inspirasi (AGI) is calling for nomination submissions nationwide starting from today until Mar 30. Malaysians can share stories about how teachers have inspired them or their children to succeed and fulfil their potential, to accomplish more than they thought was possible.
In the lead up to the National Teachers’ Day on May 16 May, AGI is giving Malaysians an opportunity to shine the spotlight on their inspirational teachers that often go beyond their call of duty.
The award will be given to 25 of the most inspiring teachers and each will receive RM5,000 in cash, a trophy, a sash, and a certificate of recognition at a ceremony organised by their respective schools in conjunction with Teachers’ Day.
Malaysians who nominate the awarded recipients will also be receiving RM200 worth of McDonald’s gift vouchers.
“Anugerah Guru Inspirasi as part of #McDSayangCikgu. It is all about appreciating, celebrating, and recognising the efforts of our teachers, who we believe are instrumental not just for the academic growth of children but for their personal growth as well,” said McDonald’s Malaysia Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Melati Abdul Hai
“A teacher who has a positive influence on a student can set off a chain reaction that goes far beyond the classroom. McDonald’s Malaysia is committed to making sure teachers know they are appreciated and hope to inspire more people to find small ways to make a big difference.”
Alongside AGI, McDonald’s has also given away free meals on Teacher’s Day, organised annual motivational seminars to equip them with new skills and even host Teachers’ Day parties at the company’s fast food outlets.
