KUCHING, Feb 8: Satok assemblyman Dato Ibrahim Baki has committed RM50,000 to assist in repairing the smart school facilities of SJK Chung Hua No 4, which were damaged by a recent thunderstorm.
Expressing his concern for the students, Ibrahim stated that his contribution aims to ensure that the students can resume learning in the e-classroom facilities once repairs are completed.
“Meanwhile, you just have to be patient,” he assured during his remarks before distributing Chinese New Year 2024 goodies to approximately 50 underprivileged students from the school and others today.
Highlighting the significance of education, Baki emphasised that students represent Sarawak’s future human capital assets.
“I want you all to study diligently so that when you finish your education, you can contribute to building our State and the nation into prosperity,” he urged.
Furthermore, he encouraged students and teachers to continue celebrating the unique festive culture practiced by all Sarawakians and to foster camaraderie among all races.
Later, Baki conducted a Chinese New Year 2024 walkabout, greeting and distributing Chinese mandarin oranges to patrons at eateries along Jalan Nanas.
