KOTA KINABALU: KDCA Youth Council thanked Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor for allocating RM10 million to help subsidise flight tickets for all Sabahan students studying in public and private higher learning institutions (IPTs) in the Peninsula, Sarawak and Labuan.
Its Chairman Steve Johnny Mositun said the one-off RM600 subsidy will really help all the IPT students.
“This proves that the Sabah Maju Jaya slogan is not only a billboard slogan.
“We believe the best machinism can be establish for the students to receive this aid,” he said in a statement today, referring to Chief Minister’s announcement during his recent visit to Penang.

He said all this while not only students but many Sabahans or Sarawakians need to plan ahead for their journey in order to have cheaper flight back to their homeland.
“Yet during festive and holiday seasons it seems that prices are too high. Members of Parliament from Sabah have raised the long overdue issue faced especially Sabahabs and Sarawakians and we need to have a solution.
“We understand there are many dissatisfcation especially on the on-going development in Sabah, but we can see progress is done.”
Steve also urged the relevant authorities to monitor electronic media contents and posting that violates the laws.
