KOTA KINABALU: A total of 340 students from the B40 group at Stella Maris Tanjung Aru received school supplies on Thursday through a CSR initiative by Yayasan Kosma and Persatuan Keusahawanan Cekap Sabah (PKCS). The aid included bags, books, stationery and lunch boxes to support low-income families and encourage educational development.

He said Yayasan Kosma, though Pahang-based, allocates RM5 million yearly to support community initiatives nationwide in line with the Inland Revenue Board's broader mission.
