Separately, Taylor’s University has been shedding light on deep and controversial topics. In April, it launched a Hari Raya film in April, titled Sadaqah, centred around the topic of helping the underprivileged through education that conformed to the paradigm of charity. Sadaqah , which translates to charity, is all about helping those in need, said Taylor’s CMO Ben Foo. In 2021, in conjunction with Deepavali , it decided to explore the harsh realities afflicting communities in Malaysia when it came to education.
