Farmers get back-to-school aid

KOTA TINGGI: The Farmers’ Organisation Authority (LPP) has targeted to give schooling assistance vouchers worth RM150 each to 15,000 children of underprivileged farmers nationwide.

LPP chairman Datuk Mazlan Aliman said the authority, through its network of 279 Area Farmers’ Organisations (PPKs) throughout the country, had been actively organising Back To School programmes to ease the burden of parents whose income was affected by the fall in price of rubber and palm oil.
