SOME 80 students in the Bayan Baru area received school aid of a RM100 voucher, school bag and other schooling utensils

from Pantai Jerejak assemblymember Datuk Mohhd Rashid Hasnon at his constituency office in Bayan Baru on Dec 9. Also present was Bayan Baru

MP Sim Tse Tzin and representatives from the various village security and development committees. Rashid, who is also Deputy Chief Minister 1, in

his speech urged the students to excel in their studies, and be the pride of their parents, the state and also the country. He said this was in line with

the state government’s aim to make Penang an international and intelligent city.
