KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government has allocated nearly RM600,000 to assist e-hailing workers in opening accounts with EPF, chief minister Hajiji Noor said today.
He said a total of 11,109 applications had been received. “This initiative aims to support those e-hailing workers who have yet to open an EPF account,” he said at the launch of the Sabah Moto Day event, which attracted about 60,000 motorcyclists and motorsports enthusiasts from Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.
Hajiji also announced a youth programme grant of RM300,000 to be distributed to youth NGOs in the Tanjung Aru, Petagas, and Tanjung Keramat constituencies within the Putatan parliamentary area.
He said the state government had invested more than RM1.3 billion, including RM848 million for educational assistance and RM485 million for talent development and skills programmes since 2021.
