KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 5 (Bernama) -- Manulife Malaysia held its Inauguration Ceremony of the Orang Asli Education programme on 27 July 2019 at Kampung Sungai Ruai. The Orang Asli Education programme is in collaboration with Pertubuhan Komuniti Kasih Selangor (PKKS), a community welfare organisation, to assist Orang Asli children in the form of education support. The company’s financial support enables PKKS and teachers to conduct after-school learning sessions for the children and provide daily transportation of these children to their respective schools, as the villages are secluded from schools and public amenities.
