Kota Kinabalu: The Yayasan Kebajikan Sabah (YKS) has assisted 4,332 needy individuals in the state since its inception in September last year.
Chairing the YKS Board of Trustees meeting at Menara Kinabalu, near here, on Tuesday, Chief Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor, in a statement, said the idea of YKS was mooted in the wake of Covid-19 seeing many people needing assistance.
