“We build a profile for each of the more than 500,000 students in Sabah and we know their needs.
“”So after we have identified the needs of these students, we share that information with parties willing to provide assistance or CSR,” Fazilah said at the School Level Teacher’s Day Celebration at SJKC Cheng Ming here, officiated by Director General of Yun Fook Resources Sdn Bhd Datuk Yap Yun Fook.
