McDonald’s Malaysia has unveiled the 25 winners of the Anugerah Guru Inspirasi (AGI) McDonald’s 2023 during the national level Teachers’ Day celebration event.
The annual award conceptualised by McDonald’s aims to acknowledge and celebrate exceptional educators from the Ministry of Education Malaysia, who have shown extraordinary dedication in fostering their students’ academic excellence and character development.
The 25 outstanding teachers were recognized and honoured at the Anugerah Guru Inspirasi (AGI) McDonald’s 2023 ceremony held at the Malacca International Trade Centre on May 15, 2023.
The award presentation ceremony was graced by Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek.
Each of the AGI McDonald’s winner received a cash prize of RM5,000, a trophy and certificate.
McDonald’s Malaysia will also donate RM5,000 to upgrade teachers’ rooms in schools where AGI McDonald’s 2023 winners work.
“McDonald’s values the strategic partnership and strong support provided by the Ministry of Education. This collaboration has successfully increased the number of nominations by threefold, recording in excess of 16,000 nominations.
“The exceptional stories that have been submitted demonstrate that this award has garnered widespread attention, and serves as a platform for communities to share the remarkable stories of their extraordinary teachers ‘Cikgu Luar Biasa’ who have made a difference in their lives,” said McDonald’s Malaysia managing director and local operating partner Dato’ Azmir Jaafar.
He added, “The contribution to upgrade teachers’ rooms is one of McDonald’s Malaysia’s efforts to acknowledge the contributions of educators – not only towards the AGI McDonald’s 2023 recipients but also to all their colleagues at the school. This prize also signifies McDonald’s support for MOE’s initiatives to maintain teacher welfare and ensure their well-being.”
Students who participated in this campaign by nominating their teachers were also acknowledged. In addition to receiving trophies, certificates and RM500 vouchers, they will be awarded Pentaksiran Aktiviti Jasmani Sukan Kokurikulum (PAJSK) scores for their initiative to submit compelling stories about their ‘Cikgu Luar Biasa.’ These scores can help enhance students’ overall development.
To further commemorate Teacher’s Day and honour Malaysian teachers, McDonald’s Malaysia will celebrate teachers nationwide at all 340 McDonald’s restaurants throughout Malaysia during the month of May.
