KAJANG, May 10 — Approximately 314 students from B40 families at SJK(C) Kampung Baru Semenyih received RM31,400 in donations today, to help ease their parents’ financial burdens.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said each student received RM100 cash and a school bag.
The donations were distributed using the special allocation of the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs).
“I always mention that education is very important…it can change the fate of B40 families,” he told the press after handing over the aid to the recipients.
