MELAKA, Jan 15 (Bernama) — The distribution of Early Schooling Assistance (BAP) in Melaka is expected to be fully completed and handed over to all recipients by the end of this month, said Deputy Minister of Higher Education Adam Adli Abd Halim.
The Hang Tuah Jaya Member of Parliament said that although there were initial concerns among parents due to the large number of recipients and the substantial amount of cash involved, the process had been well managed by the Melaka State Education Department (JPN).
“Based on observations, the distribution process is running smoothly and in an orderly manner, with parents, in particular, providing good cooperation.
“This has helped to facilitate the process further, and we are confident that the distribution will be completed before the end of this month,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after the presentation of a mock cheque for the BAP at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Krubong here today, which was also attended by Melaka Education director Mahfudzah Mohamed Noor.
The federal government has allocated RM23.3 million for the implementation of BAP in Melaka this year, benefiting 155,406 recipients comprising primary and secondary school students.
The BAP programme is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to ease the financial burden on parents in preparing their children for the school year.
