KUCHING: Member of Parliament (MP) for Bandar Kuching Kelvin Yii, together with Violet Yong and their team, visited five primary schools in the constituency this morning to distribute brand-new school uniforms and shoes to students from B40 families.
Dr. Yii stated that his constituency office provides school supplies annually to students from low-income families, ensuring they have the necessary essentials for the new academic year.
The distribution is carried out based on the B40 student list identified by the schools.
“The objective of this programme is to ease the financial burden on parents, as the start of a new school year can be a significant expense for families,” he said.
The five schools benefiting from this initiative were SK Lumba Kuda, SK Song Kheng Hai, SJK Chung Hua Pending, SJK Bintawa, and SK Kenyalang.
