School aid helpful but only covers basics, say parents


PETALING JAYA: While parents appreciate the RM150 Early Schooling Aid (BAP), many find that this amount only scratches the surface of the costs incurred as their children start the academic year.

Begam Abdul, 54, from Ampang, said the RM150 she received was spent entirely on her daughter’s exercise books, which amounted to RM300 in total.
