AXIATA IN GLOBAL EFFORT TO HELP CHILDREN GET SCHOOLING

KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 (Bernama) -- Axiata Group Bhd and its subsidiaries have
joined a global campaign to ensure that every child in the world has the
opportunity to go to school by 2015.

Currently, 72 million children have been denied that chance.

To this end, Axiata is lending support to the "1GOAL: Education for All"
mobile campaigns undertaken by the GSM Association, which represents the
interests of the mobile communications industry.

Axiata's president and group chief executive officer Jamaludin
Ibrahim said in a statement Wednesday that Axiata's subsidiary Celcom Axiata Bhd
will launch an SMS campaign from June 7 to 9 to all customers and to show their
support, they need only to reply "YES" to a simple free text.

The responses from the 1GOAL mobile campaign will be presented as a petition
to world leaders at an education summit later this year, urging both developing
and developed countries to provide further funding for education.
