SEGAMAT: Johor has become the first state to expand the i-FB Siswa food bank initiative to include daily necessities such as stationery and personal care products for university students.
Johor Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry director Lilis Saslinda Pornomo said the expanded assistance covers items such as stationery and personal care products to support students' studies and daily needs.
She said the state-level launch at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Johor branch's Segamat campus reflected a commitment to student welfare, particularly amid rising cost-of-living pressures.
"The i-FB Siswa initiative is based on the 3S concept — Santuni Komuniti (supporting the community), Selamatkan Makanan (saving food) and Sayangi Alam (caring for the environment).
