KAJANG, May 10 (Bernama) -- A total of 314 students from B40 families at Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Kampung Baru Semenyih today received donations totalling RM31,400, aimed at helping to ease the financial burden of their parents.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said each student received RM100 cash and a school bag.
He said 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 reporters after handing over the aid to the recipients.
