KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman wants those involved in the disbursement of the 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) to ensure it is done smoothly.

He said all the necessary measures should be taken urgently to ensure the comfort of those who come to receive the aid.

“We see that there is a huge number of people coming for the aid. So I ask all those involved, from the district offices to the elected representatives and banks to work together.

“I would like also to suggest that the banks involved provide more counters so that the people need not scramble or wait for a long time to receive their money,” he told a news conference after chairing the weekly cabinet meeting here yesterday.

He also said that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is scheduled to visit Sabah on Feb 16-17 Feb. His itinerary will be announced later. — Bernama
