SUNGAI BULOH, Jan 17 — RM1.2 million in allocations has been channelled to more than 4,000 residents in the Sungai Buloh parliamentary constituency through various education-related initiatives since 2024, said Sungai Buloh MP Datuk Seri Ramanan Ramakrishnan.
He said the recipients are students from diverse backgrounds, including those from underprivileged families, who benefited from programmes such as Back to School Assistance, Higher Education Assistance and the SPM Excellent Student Incentive.
Ramanan, who is also human resources minister, said education remains a top priority as it is the key to securing a brighter future.
“Through education, children can obtain better jobs and stable incomes, which in turn help uplift their families. I hope this assistance helps ease their burden and motivates them to strive for academic excellence,” he said.
He was speaking at the Back to School Contribution Ceremony for the Sungai Buloh parliamentary constituency, held in collaboration with Amanah Ikhtiar Malaysia (AIM), here today.
At the event, 1,000 children received aid, with 750 of them each receiving RM150 in cash to help prepare for the new school term, while the remaining recipients were provided with school supplies such as bags, uniforms and stationery.
When met by reporters, Ramanan reaffirmed his commitment to continue and expand education-related initiatives in Sungai Buloh.
“This year, more education programmes will be implemented through the Sungai Buloh Parliamentary People’s Service Centre, in collaboration with various parties,” he said.
