KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun has advised members of the Sabah legislative assembly as well as the Community Development Leaders Unit to practice financial discipline when spending aid allocations such as Bantuan Orang Susah (BOS).

Besides ensuring the aid reaches the intended communities, the state Finance Minister said assemblymen and community development leaders must also complete and submit their spending reports to help the Sabah government monitor the efficacy and reach of the aid.
