The Complete Banker (TCB) is a personal development initiative targeted at
young and talented individuals, providing them with a comprehensive set of banking

2007 scholar. He said that innovation and creativity was key to leading a
meaningful life. At the end of the day, all participants engaged in a photo

Consultation and Road shows Mere distribution of scholarship funds is not what CIMB
Niaga aims for; it opts to establish closer ties with its scholars, promoting a
greater sense of ownership of CIMB Niaga's Scholarship Program among
beneficiaries. An effective way to realize this is by scheduling
consultation sessions for the program participants. Following successful events
in Jakarta and Bogor, similar sessions were held in six other major cities --
Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, Malang and Medan -- between April 9
and 13, 2012. CIMB Niaga and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the
Republic of Indonesia took scholars to meet representatives from partner
universities: Universitas Padjajaran, Institut Teknologi Bandung, Universitas
Diponegoro, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember and
Universitas Sumatera Utara. In these meetings, the organizing team introduced
CIMB Niaga's Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives for 2012, and sought
to establish and maintain good relationships with the tertiary education
partners, a key stakeholder of CIMB Niaga. The consultation sessions and visits made part of CIMB
Niaga's effort to achieve its vision of Building Lifetime Relationships --
maintaining sustainable ties among CIMB Niaga, its scholars, the Ministry of
Education & Culture and the universities selected as partners for the
administering of the bank's CSR programs.
"Assessment
Camp" - Khazanah Asia Scholarship Program 2012 Under their current scholarship program, CIMB Niaga and
Khazanah Foundation jointly offered Indonesian students the opportunity to
further their higher education at selected universities in Malaysia and get
their master's degrees. As part of the program, an Assessment Camp -- stage two
of the Khazanah Asia 2012 Scholarship selection process -- was held from May 23
to 28 at Jakarta's Crowne Plaza Hotel. As many as 13 candidates
enthusiastically partook a series of
psychological tests, working group discussions and interviews to see if they
would qualify for the next phase of the process. In a final interview, each candidate was required
to deliver the best possible answers and arguments before two directors: Ms. L.
Wulan Tumbelaka, CIMB Niaga's Compliance, Corporate Affairs and Legal Director,
and Tan Sri Dato' Azman Hashim, Managing Director of Khazanah Nasional Berhad. "It gives me great pride
to be here among other candidates for the Khazanah Asia Scholarship Program.
This is such a rare opportunity, and I'm grateful I was shortlisted for the
Assessment Camp in a series of selection processes before the most qualified
would be announced as program scholars. The camp taught me many things:
leadership, teamwork, interpersonal skills and integrity. I got to meet other
candidates of different backgrounds. We studied together and had to compete
against each other to win the scholarships but could still keep our spirit of comradeship
intact," said a program candidate, Absa Pradista.

lecture on how to create business opportunities and build dreams early on -
'Ciptakan Peluang Bisnis dan Bangun Impianmu dari Sekarang' at Jakarta's
Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia. Attended by around 222 students, the event also
attracted a number of academics of the university. With a purpose of preparing entrepreneurs to have the
ability to drive business entities to create many more young creative social
entrepreneurs with the required spirit and energy to act as agents of changes
who will focus on commercial and independence aspects of business and strike a
balance between profitability and prosperity. Speaking at the event were Florianus S. Nggagur, Mikro

lies in the preparation; without one, failure is guaranteed." The
maxim applies to scholarship beneficiaries taking part in CIMB Niaga's The
Complete Banker (TCB) selection stage. TCB is a management training initiative
that requires candidates to be fully prepared with a focus on mastery of both
verbal and written English language skills. As a regional bank, CIMB Niaga
needs future leaders with comprehensive knowledge of banking and the ability to
use English well. Taking place at the Manggarai branch of AIM for English,
on Saturday, June 2, 2012, CIMB Niaga officially started its IELTS Preparation
and Business Conversation classes for its scholars. The IELTS Preparation
course aims at equipping participants with the necessary knowledge to help them
qualify for TCB which requires a minimum IELTS score of 6.00, while the
Business Conversation Class prepares them for making good business
presentations and passing interview tests. It was expected that by taking these classes, many scholars could take part
in TCB's selection stages without difficulties and eventually manage to make it
to the list of the program's participants. CIMB Niaga's Scholarship Program has
the commitment of taking beneficiaries in the right direction to come up with
the best results.

CIMB Niaga intends to get as many of them as possible to take advantage of the
available scholarship offers, including BUTIK CIMB Niaga -- scholarship for
students intending to take courses on technological applications for creative
industries -- a joint initiative between the bank and the Ministry of Education
and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia. In an effort to widely publicize its programs, CIMB Niaga
took part as sponsor partner in the Creative Economy Gathering held at BCFF
Purnawarman on October 5, 2012. The

Educational Aid for "Sekolah Darurat Kartini" August 13, 2012.
Every citizen has the right to education as stipulated in Article 31 Paragraph
1 of the 1945 Constitution. Education makes up the foundation of the nation,
and helps the people to gain higher status. Unfortunately, good education is
not something that children of the Sekolah Darurat Kartini (Kartini Temporary
School), an establishment set up under Ancol's Lodan Raya overpass, can fully
enjoy. Concerned with the school's operations, CIMB Niaga
donated uniforms and learning & teaching facilities including globe
replicas and Indonesian wall maps with a total value of Rp 22,000,000. All donated
items were symbolically handed to the twin behind the idea of Sekolah Darurat
Kartini: Ibu Sri Rosiati (Rossy) and Ibu Sri Irianingsih (Ryan), on Monday,
August 13, 2012, at an education expo organized by the Ministry of Education
and Culture in Plaza Senayan where the school was listed as a participating
institution. CIMB Niaga expected that the donation would help Sekolah
Darurat Kartini to consistently support its students, all of them street
children, to allow them to experience decent education. Educational Support for People Of Dayeuh

Niaga hoped to see the emergence of many successful clothing businesses in
Dayeuh Kolot, Bandung. Rumah Baca Harapan - Maros, Makassar Rumah Baca Harapan in Maros, Makassar, is a home of
learning that brings hope to those under its wing. It allows them to study and
shape their hopes and dreams, empowering them to fulfill these hopes and reach
the dreams with hard work. The distant location cannot keep them from coming to
this place to study; it will not put out their passion for learning. The center is a result of a project initiated by members
of the association of graduates and beneficiaries of CIMB Niaga scholarship
program -- Ikatan Alumni Penerima Beasiswa CIMB Niaga (IAPB). Its purpose is to
prepare Indonesian young generations who are keen on learning to embrace
progress and development. On December 22, 2012, a team from CIMB Niaga's
Program Sejuta Buku (A Million Book program) made a visit to Rumah Baca Harapan
to donate books and share knowledge, happiness and motivation with those from
remote regions, and help to boost their pride and self-respect so that one day
they would become individuals of great achievements to benefit the nation. CIMB Niaga hoped that they would keep their learning
spirit and persistence intact to ensure that they would soar and perform the
best they could for a bright future. Rumah Baca Harapan Semarang Launched CIMB Niaga offered support for the official opening of
Semarang's Rumah Baca Harapan on December 30, 2012. Attending the launching

national anthem, Indonesia Raya, followed by a tumpeng-cutting to symbolize
that the center, which is located in the village of Gayamsari in Semarang, was
now open to the public. Children guests were then invited to take part in
various games to motivate them to make the best use of the facility. There were
also a coloring contest for first, second and third graders and a writing
competition for children in fourth, fifth and sixth grades. They enjoyed all
the activities; there were no winners or losers because all competitions served
only to sharpen their creativity. CIMB Niaga expected that the learning center would
benefit as many children as possible in Gayamsari, Semarang. “AYO

Surabaya January 20-22, 2012. As
part of the launch of its Tabungan Junior Debit Card, CIMB Niaga introduced to
the local market its 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' Campaign in an event held at
Surabaya's Galaxy Mall. A new design of the Tabungan Junior debit card took
center stage of the campaign, but another session also played a role no less
important: the presentation of educational support to economically-disadvantaged
fatherless of motherless children who were high-achievers at school. A total of
Rp 10 million was awarded to 10 selected beneficiaries. When these children
grow up and have their own money, they are be expected to become individuals

their peers who are less fortunate. The presentation clearly showed CIMB Niaga's commitment
to sharing with others the value of education. We can share with
people around us anything -- whatever we have is worth sharing. So Let's Save
and Share.
AMDB Program Introduced at CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters Charity Gala
Dinner CIMB Niaga, the title sponsor of an international golf
tournament, CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters 2012, is committed to consistently
promote the empowerment of people through its Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) programs. An opportunity to help the cause came when the CIMB Niaga
Indonesian Masters 2012 Charity Gala Dinner was held on Tuesday, April 17,
2012, at the Four Seasons Hotel Jakarta -- it was time to combine the spirit of
golf and the concern for disadvantaged people for the best interests of all. As a result, the money raised at the Gala Dinner made
possible for CIMB Niaga and its partner, Habitat for Humanity, to construct
fourteen (14) more houses for low-income families in Indonesia. The program
confirmed a larger number of units to be built: last year's event managed to
raise funds for 11 homes -- an achievement to be proud of. CIMB Niaga also set up a booth where its Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) projects were communicated to the gala invited guests with
emphasis on the 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' program. The bank managed to raise a
total of Rp 700,000 to be later deposited in its 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi'
special account. Future disbursements of the fund will be for initiatives to
promote the education and character building of the children of Indonesia.
CIMB Niaga Opens CSR Booth at National
Bowling Interbank Championship No matter who we are, where we come from, and when and
where we live now, sharing will always be the best thing to do to help those
who are less fortunate than us. It was exactly this that CIMB Niaga did when it
organized the National Bowling Interbank Championship at Jaya Ancol Bowling
Center in Jakarta, on June 2-3, where bowlers from 17 banks in Indonesia
competed for a title. The bank's CSR team encouraged spectators of the games to
share what they have for the needy. And it has always been this spirit that keeps members of
the team going and raising funds wherever and whenever they can through the
'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' initiative. In two days of the event, the team
managed to collect Rp 685,000, making the total of fund deposited in the 'Ayo
Menabung dan Berbagi' account come to a handsome Rp 86,180,501 (eighty six
million one hundred eighty thousand five hundred and one rupiah). May the
spirit of sharing be always in us for one single purpose: reaching out and
benefitting as many people as possible in Indonesia.

company's vision of becoming a trusted bank in Indonesia. Another equally important issue also made it to the
meeting agenda: CIMB Niaga CSR team's 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' (AMDB)
program. Those involved in the meeting were invited to contribute to the
fund-raising initiative. The team also introduced to high officials in
attendance various jewelry boxes assembled by small and medium enterprises.
These SME's took part in the "50 Super Days" project -- 50 days of counseling
with CIMB Niaga scholars giving back to the community by providing marketing-,
accounting- and management-related services to entrepreneurs engaged in jewelry
box manufacturing businesses. The team made a total of Rp 1,927,000 from the
sales of the SME products and the fund-raising session. The money was deposited
to the AMDB account which now had a balance of Rp 97,377,501. Members of the CSR team thanked members of CIMB Niaga
senior management; their 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' donations will certainly
benefit others in need. Introducing CIMB Niaga CSR Programs at IBEX
2012 June 27 - July 1, 2012. Held
from June 27 to July 1, 2012 at the Jakarta Convention Center, Indonesia
Banking Expo 2012 (IBEX 2012) managed to attract many visitors. CIMB Niaga saw the event as an opportunity to actively
introducing a number of its products and several of its key Corporate Social
Responsibility programs: 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' (AMDB) and CIMB Niaga
Community Link. AMDB invited IBEX 2012 visitors to contribute to a fund-raising
initiative. The other program, Community Link, presented three of CIMB
Niaga-supported charity partners: Rumah Gemilang Indonesia, Wangsa Jelita and
Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa. At the banking event, the team collected a total of
Rp 1,033,500, bringing the AMDB account balance up to Rp 98,407,001. On Sunday, July 1, 2012, the final day of IBEX 2012, CIMB

AMDB Program 2012
Re-Launched July 25, 2012.
Another event in the 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' series was held by CIMB Niaga
in 2012. At Yasporbi primary school in Pancoran, South Jakarta, the CSR team
organized a number of related activities including the Kit for Kids and a
talkshow, presenting local bloggers and public figures who have concerns for
children's education: Ratih Ibrahim, Ainun Chomsun (Akademi Berbagi), Ida Amal
(Indonesia Berkebun) and Dik Doank. Speakers at the show shared the same
message, i.e. the importance of saving and sharing in shaping
socially-conscious characters. L. Wulan Tumbelaka, Compliance, Corporate Affairs &
Legal Director of CIMB Niaga, said that the program reflected her company's
commitment to consistently assume its corporate social responsibilities,
particularly in the promotion of education. This is the second year of the
organization of the project; the first ended in December 2011. CIMB Niaga's 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' was also in line
with a program by Bank Indonesia (BI), i.e. Hari RaBu (short for Hari Rajin Menabung
-- Save Money Every Day), an initiative to promote the 'save money' movement
among the public. Active participation of the banking industry is expected to
bring people closer to banks and encourage them to save more money. Concluding the AMDB relaunch, door prizes were drawn and
tanjung tree seedlings handed over to the management of SD Yasporbi for later
planting. The greening initiative symbolized CIMB Niaga's commitment to benefit
people through education. Learn and Play With Kit for Kids July 25, 2012. Every
child, without exception, has the right to play and learn, and the Indonesian
government has the obligation to provide spaces for Indonesian children to
create, play, socialize and learn through all media and facilities available. A school functions as a second home for
children and a medium or facility where positive character qualities are
taught, shaping them to be intelligent individuals who are prepared to serve
their country well. And CIMB Niaga realizes that a place suitable for imparting
values to children is an institution we call school. Wednesday, July 25, 2012, was the day picked by CIMB
Niaga to get the children at SD Yasporbi Jakarta to learn great values through
the Kit for Kids initiative in the 2012 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' campaign
series. The young ones were involved in a story-telling session aimed at making
them aware of the importance of saving and sharing at school. They were then
taken to a prepared site where they could play with plants and soil in a joint
tree-planting activity. Around 200 fourth, fifth and sixth graders
enthusiastically take part in all steps of the Kit for Kids session. CIMB Niaga expected the Kit for Kids program to help
children to realize the positive values of saving and sharing, and apply what
they have learned in their daily routines - at school, at home and in the
society. Kit For Kids at 7 Primary Schools In Greater
Jakarta Region July 25 - September 10, 2012. Following the relaunch of
the 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' for 2012 featuring a Talkshow and Kit for Kids
at SD Yasporbi in Pancoran, CIMB Niaga scheduled another Kit for Kids to take
place at 7 primary schools in the Greater Jakarta region: SDK Penabur Kelapa
Gading, SDK Penabur Kota Modern Tangerang, SD Tarakanita 3 Kebayoran Lama, SD
Tarakanita 5 Rawamangun, SD Mentari International Bintaro, SD Global Prestasi
School Bekasi and SD Victory Plus. With an agenda similar to last year's, Kit for Kids took
around 150 children from each school to play an active role in the
story-telling, tree-planting and fund-raising sessions. They managed to gather
hundreds of used but still wearable clothing items and books, and raised some
money. The collected clothes, books and money were then symbolically handed by
a pair on behalf of the group, accompanied by a teacher, to CIMB Niaga
representatives. As a way of showing that it also cares for the
environment, CIMB Niaga donated to each school tree seedlings. The children
were expected to nurture the young plants to grow into strong and big shady
trees to contribute to their school's green environments.
Kit for Kids 2012 Bandung Campaign September 27, 2012. As
the previous 2012 campaigns for the Jabotabek regions proved to be successful,
another round of Kit for Kids was planned in two primary schools in Bandung --
SD Yos Sudarso and SD Al Azhar 30 Bandung. Both schools' administrators and
teachers and hundreds of schoolchildren enthusiastically welcomed the team from
CIMB Niaga. The visits took place on Thursday, September 27, 2012.
The first on the list was SD Yos Sudarso; around 150 pupils and their teachers
were very happy to get their hands on the Kits for Kids and start planting
trees. When the work at SD Yos Sudarso was done, the team went to SD Al Azhar
30 Bandung to find 183 schoolboys and schoolgirls impatiently waiting to enjoy
the day together. In the story-telling
session, the children were invited to take part in a treasure hunt role play
where they learned about the concept of saving and sharing. Afterwards they
joined the team for a tree-planting session. Students ready for work wearing
aprons offered a different and refreshing sight. During the fund-raising parts of the Bandung visits, CIMB
Niaga collected a total of Rp 1,542,000. We thank you all, big-hearted boys and
girls... we will use the money to help other children who are less fortunate
than us. Let's keep saving and sharing. Fund-Raising at University Of Indonesia CIMB Niaga's Kit for Kids initiative in the series of the
'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' (AMDB) program targets not only schoolchildren but
also university students. The bank had
the opportunity to introduce AMDB to the academic circles when it was invited
to take part in Pekan Beasiswa UI, a forum for students of Universitas
Indonesia to seek scholarships, held from October 2 to 3, 2012, at the
university's Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. CIMB Niaga also made a presentation on its Beasiswa
Unggulan (scholarship for high-achievers) and Beasiswa Unggulan Teknologi
Industri Kreatif CIMB (scholarship for students intending to take courses on
technological applications for creative industries). As part of the AMDB
campaign, students were informed of the beautiful concept of saving and
sharing, and invited to apply the concept on the spot. The team managed to
raise a total of Rp 102,900 during the whole event, and the money would go to
the AMDB account for use in character building and improvement projects in
Indonesia. CIMB Niaga expected that its participation in the UI scholarship
week would help students to relive and embrace the culture of sharing with
others.
Kit for Kids 2012 Semarang and Yogyakarta
Campaigns After two previous series of successful campaigns in
Jabodetabek and Bandung, Kit for Kids once again reached out to nature-loving
children; this time, the team from CIMB Niaga came to SDI An Nisaa and SD
Marsudirini in Semarang, and SDI Al Azhar 31 and SD Budi Mulya Dua in
Yogyakarta on October 30 and 31, 2012. Around 642 young Kit for Kids
participants from the listed schools enjoyed all activities: a story about the
goodness of saving and sharing brought to them by an attractive storyteller,
fund-raising session involving all children and planting trees with their
teachers in their schoolyards. A total of Rp 4,642,400 was collected, and the money
would go into the AMDB account and be used for organizing personal skill
development courses aimed at early childhood education teachers all over
Indonesia. The distribution of kemuning tree seedlings by CIMB Niaga
to all participating schools symbolized a hope that these institutions, with
their quality education, would be long remembered as the lasting sweet-smelling
fragrant of kemuning would in people's mind. The trees also imply CIMB Niaga's
commitment to the environment, and the children were expected to nurture them
to ensure that these plants will in time provide shade and greeneries.
Children in Surabaya Take Part in 2012 Kit
For Kids A song popular among kids, 'Di Sini Senang di Sana
Senang', heightened the spirit of SD Santo Carolus Surabaya and SD Santa Maria
2 Sidoarjo schoolchildren when CIMB Niaga team visited them during the Kit for
Kids Surabaya campaign, taking place from December 10 to 10, 2012. Sung
together when the team told them stories, the tune seemed to perfectly
brightened up the day and brought greater warmth and joy. The children were also encouraged to donate their money,
and the results were fantastic: SD Santo Carolus managed to raise Rp 830,000,
while SD Santa Maria II Sidoarjo collected Rp 1,532,000. The amount of money
that they gave for others -- Rp 2,362,000 -- showed that they cared and were
aware that many children out there need their helping hands in order to be able
to keep going to school and study. All the raised funds would go to the special
'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' account and be used for the effort to promote
education in Indonesia. Kit for Kids Surabaya concluded with a joint
tree-planting session at each school, and the children were full of enthusiasm
when they joined the team in all stages of planting: from tilling the soil to
planting the seedlings. Showing that CIMB Niaga and the participating
institutions and children really cared for the environment, they took a step
further and greened areas outside their schools.
Kit for Kids Medan: Motivation to Share December 18, 2012. 'Ayo
Menabung dan Berbagi' is a program to motivate children to save money and share
it under the Kit for Kids scheme. Taking place in Medan on December 18, 2012,
the initiative held high the spirit of the schoolchildren of SD Harapan 1, 2
and 3 to learn to share with their less-fortunate peers. "Many children out there have lost the
opportunity to learn at school; others who are slightly luckier have to take a
really long route to get to their schools. So, to help these kids, let's set
aside some of our money for those in need, and donate it to CIMB Niaga's AMDB
program," encouraged Perlindungan Lubis, principal of
SD Harapan 1 and 2 in Medan. His message, and an AMDB video showing Indonesia's
education, opened his children's eyes to the fact that it is important to share
what they have. And in a fund-raising session that followed, a total of Rp
1,429,200 was collected for use in a character-buillding initiative involving
Indonesian children. The program's agenda covered story-telling and
tree-planting sessions with a purpose of teaching the children the importance
of growing plants for environmental preservation in Indonesia. CIMB Niaga
thanks all the lovely and caring children, and hopes that what they donated
would benefit many people. Kit for Kids Malang: A Cool City of Malang
Welcome Joy, happiness and laughter filled the air when CIMB
Niaga invited schoolchildren of SD Negeri 1 Kauman and SD Islam Sabilillah in
Malang to participate in the Kit for Kids projects. CIMB Niaga expected to see
all participating children enjoying the sessions so that cheers and laughter
would make them see life as positively meaningful. Gift presentation, interactive story-telling and tree
planting kept them in high spirit and happily absorbed in all activities. With
enthusiasm and warmth they met the Kit for Kids team members who then engaged
them in various games, and in sessions where they sang songs together and
donated money for others. Even the sharing part of the event brought joy to
them because they were aware that what they shared would benefit less-fortunate
children. A total of Rp 445,500 was collected; however, no matter
how small or big the contribution they made, it showed that they cared and it
was their best gift to others. Thank you, little friends...
