Libaran first location of Umno Bantu Rakyat 2.0 in Sabah

SANDAKAN: Two thousand needy individuals and students in the Libaran parliamentary constituency received aid through the Umno Bantu Rakyat 2.0 programme organised by the Umno Malaysia welfare bureau, here, today.
This constituency became the first location for implementation of the aid programme in the state this time, with 1,000 people each receiving a hamper of daily necessities worth RM100.
Meanwhile, 1,000 students received a savings account of RM100 each under the National Education Savings Scheme (SSPN-I) of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation.
Sabah Chief Minister Tan Sri Musa Aman, who is also Libaran Umno division chief, launched the programme, with the party's welfare bureau chairman Datuk Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah, also present.
Shamsul Anuar, in his speech, said after Libaran, the second series of the programme in Sabah would continue in Batu Sapi, Semporna, Tenom, Beaufort and lastly, Kota Belud, this Friday.
The Umno Supreme Council member said the first series was carried out last year, covering 13 parliamentary constituencies in the state.
Shamsul Anuar said the idea for the programme came from Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak and vice-president carrying out the duties of party deputy president, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, to help those in need, in line with the party's struggle.
"This programme is no rhetoric but carried out with sincerity, with the aid given to those in need regardless of their political ideology, proving that we are fair to all," he said.
Under this aid programme in the Libaran area, 10 houses had their electrical wiring repaired at a cost of RM3,000 per house and a change of engine oil for 200 motorcycles. — Bernama
