No sign of promised school supplies for KL’s needy pupils

Parents in the B40 group say they had to rush to buy school uniforms and shoes for their children as they did not receive the items promised to them by the Federal Territories Foundation. — YAP CHEE HONG/The Star

HUNDREDS of schoolgoing children in Kuala Lumpur who were supposed to receive free school uniforms and shoes from the Federal Territories Foundation (YWP) for the new school term were left in the lurch.

The promised items were not delivered and several parents called StarMetro to complain that the items, which were supposed to have been disbursed before school reopened on Jan 2, were not delivered. This resulted in some parents scrambling to do last-minute shopping on Jan 1.
