Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Arthur Joseph Kurup said to ensure that this goal could be achieved, the government today launched a mobile community services programme, an initiative of the Finance Ministry through the Sabah Treasury , aimed to bring key services to the rural population and communities in Sabah.
“It is also a platform to enable government assistance to be channelled directly to the target group. In fact, this programme also aims to collect and share resources and costs among the agencies involved so that there can be a saving of government spending,” he told reporters after presenting the Bantuan Sara Hidup and Bantuan Prihatin Nasional to recipients from the Nabawan sub-district here today.
