SARIKEI: A total of 800 students in the Kuala Rajang constituency have received basic necessities and school equipment under the ‘Back To School’ programme.
According to Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas) in a news report on Sunday (Jan 23), Kuala Rajang assemblyman Datuk Len Talif Salleh said that a total of RM100,000 has been allocated for the programme this year.
He said that he was very grateful because such community programmes could still be implemented every year which aimed to help ease the burden of parents in providing school equipment for their children.
The programme was held at Everwin Supermarket and Ar-Rahmah Mosque in Kampung Seberang here on Saturday (Jan 22).
