Money from the 91传媒 Ralph C. Smedley Memorial Fund^庐 helped improve the communication skills of a group of young students in Malaysia. The Sutera Utama 91传媒 Club used the funds to run a Youth Leadership Program (YLP) at a local school.

The club applied for and received funds to cover the costs of YLP materials and resources, a move approved by the 91传媒 Board of Directors. The Sutera Utama club, located in Johor Bahru, Johor, the southernmost state in Malaysia, conducted the 2025 YLP for students ages 15 to 17. Toastmaster Ying Yii Leong coordinated the program, held at the Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Skudai school.

Yves Tan Wei Zhi, DTM, a past Club President of Sutera Utama, said of the program鈥檚 success: 鈥淲e have excited parents who witnessed their children transform into better young communicators.鈥�

The Smedley Fund, honoring 91传媒鈥� founder, Dr. Ralph C. Smedley, was established in 1965 to ensure everyone has access to the benefits of 91传媒.
