The distribution of school bags to all children in Sabah for example, was a sign of commitment from the government in making sure that the young get a chance to have bright future.

“Children who are just starting school especially, will be happy and excited to receive these bags. I am happy to be giving them out because these children are important assets to our developing country,” he said.

He reminded parents to always monitor their children’s progress in school and not neglect them that they stray towards social ills.
