KUCHING: Some 55 babies born in the first week of the year have become the first recipients of the Sarawak endowment fund of RM1,000 each.

Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said the one-off incentive, which can only be withdrawn when the child reaches 18 years of age, was meant for their further education or to help them start their career.
