Kota Kinabalu: A green and grey coloured bag might be completely different from his "Spiderman" bag but Muhd Ismail Marlik Mukri was happy to receive the new school bag all the same. "I don't mind the colour, I still like it," said the eight-year-old, adding that he will bring the bag to school when it re-opens. Muhd Ismail, who was accompanied by his father Corporal Mukri Mat Zain, was among 100 children of policemen and policewomen to receive the free schoolbags during a ceremony held at the Kota Kinabau police headquarters, here, Saturday.

"I thank Dr Yap for extending the corporate social responsibility not only to the association, but also to children of men and women in the police force starting with Kota Kinabalu," said Malaysia Ex-Police Association President Prof. Dato' Dr Hassan Yussof.He said the free schoolbag programme will also be held in police contingents across the country in due time.
