Kota Kinabalu: There are still many poor people in Sabah, especially in Tenom, who are not listed in the National Poverty Data Bank ​​ (eKasih), said Tenom Member of Parliament (MP) Riduan Rubin.

Riduan said he received complaints from eligible applicants that they had to wait years to get their eKasih application approved.

According to him, what is more disappointing is that some of their applications are rejected after waiting for years without any reasons stated for these applications being rejected.
