Kota Kinabalu: A data collection initiative for the SYUKUR 2025 programme conducted at the Luyang State Assemblyman Office was stopped despite good intentions as the initiative has led to unnecessary questions and could potentially be politicised, it has been announced.

The primary objective of the initiative was to assist eligible individuals in accessing financial aid under the SMJ Secretariat, which was informed and had acknowledged the initiative, said Chan Loong Wei, the Political Secretary to the Luyang Asssemblyman, in a statement.

“To ensure transparency and accountability, we will pass all collected information to the SMJ Secretariat for their further action and we will not store any personal information.”
