The Sabah government on Friday handed over funds totalling RM30.9
million to 140 non-Islamic religious bodies and 266 schools including
Chinese independent and mission schools in the state.
Chief
Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the religious bodies including
churches, Chinese temples and other non-Muslim places of worship will
collectively receive a sum of RM18 million while schools have been
allocated RM12.9 million.
“Of the above sum, non-Islamic religious
organisation in the West Coast, Kudat and interior regions will receive
RM14.5 million while similar bodies in Sandakan and Tawau are allocated
RM3.6 million.
Schools in the West Coast, Kudat and interior
regions will get RM9.2 million and those allocated in Sandakan and Tawau
will receive a sum of RM3.8 million,” he said at the presentation of
cheques to the schools and religious bodies at the State Assembly
building, here.
Musa, who is also state Finance Minister, said the
large allocation for non-Islamic religious bodies was reflective of the
Barisan Nasional government’s commitment in upholding religious freedom
in the country.
