LUMUT: A total of 10 children of military personnel have received MADANI Education Contributions amounting to RM50 as a one-off payment into their National Education Savings Scheme (SSPN Prime) accounts.
Additionally, welfare assistance in the form of a one-off contribution of RM300 by the Armed Forces Fund Board Foundation (YLTAT) was provided to 20 recipients among members or heirs suffering from chronic illnesses.
