He said the programme was implemented from 2015 to 2020 and continued from 2021 to the present.
“The State Government welcomes the implementation of this project, with Kampung Brantian being selected as the first recipient in Sabah because it will benefit the villagers,” he said while officiating the project, recently.
Hassan said the initiative by Mosti and YIM aims to apply technology to meet social needs.
The theme, “Merakyatkan Sains, Menginsankan Teknologi”, underscores the project’s objective to improve the well-being of the community through the application of locally developed technology and innovation that is ready for sustainable implementation.
