KOTA KINABALU, April 10 — Sabah today received three million pieces of face mask from the federal government for distribution to households in the state.

Safar said the state government expressed its appreciation and gratitude to the federal government, through the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma) and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), for the face mask contribution. — Bernama
