KUNAK: The Kunak Homecoming: Raya Edition 2.0 programme is now open to students from here studying at any university in Kota Kinabalu, including Labuan, to return for the holidays in conjunction with the Aidilfitri celebrations.
Kunak Assemblyman Dato’ Sri Anil Sandhu

“For the first time every year, I will provide two express buses from Kota Kinabalu to Kunak for public or private university students studying in the State and Labuan to return for Raya and celebrate Aidilfitri with their families in their hometowns,” he said. The programme is implemented to help ease the travel costs for students returning for the Raya holidays.
“This programme was my initiative last year before becoming the representative for Kunak and I am continuing it this year because it received an encouraging response from university students. Alhamdulillah, the students’ parents are also happy with their children’s participation in returning for the holidays to celebrate Aidilfitri with the family,” he said.
According to him, all transport costs are fully borne by him, covering two-way travel (Kunak to Kota Kinabalu and vice versa) through a collaboration with specific public transport service companies.
Anil said the programme is an initiative continued from last year.
The dates of movement/travel are Mar 18 (Kota Kinabalu to Kunak) and Mar 28 (Kunak to Kota Kinabalu).
