THE Jeffrey Cheah Foundation (JCF) has made sustainable development (SD) a core part of its vision and mission, giving it momentum by setting up the Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development (JSC) in 2016. Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah answers questions from The Edge about the steps taken to make the SD agenda the basis for the Sunway Group’s contributions to society. The following are excerpts from the interview.
The Edge: How is the JCF catalysing a shift in the national outlook towards a borderless, cooperative and inclusive society and economy?
Tan Sri Jeffrey Cheah: For a country to prosper, it is not enough just to have education. It should also be of high quality, and made affordable and accessible.
