RM100 student aid via school?

There's a news coverage by the TV stations that DPM said they will use BSN to disburse the RM100 per student aid to the schools, and the schools will then distribute to students. Makes one wonder how it will happen. No further official annoucements were made on it though. Again, "to be determined". Not that we are waiting for the student aid, but curious about this carrot. There's report that parents can even "opt out". I hope parents don't opt out as it's the only thing that middle class parents with school-going children can get. Even if you're well-to-do, might as well get it and donate it to the needy students instead of 益 the big guys, right?

And the aid will be available in December to be in time for back-to-school next year. Continue to wait for "to-be-determined" news.

Update 24 Oct:  http://www.thesundaily.my/news/187525. Seems like parents will be invited to school to get the aid money. I hope we do get our letter. Oh and the remark made about using the aid for example new mobile phone purchase is totally out of line. Are the IQ of people in this country  so low until have to mention this aid is not meant for buying new mobile phones?? Alamak!
