KUCHING (Jan 16): A mobile service session on the Sarawak Free Tertiary Education Scheme (FTES) will be held at Siang Siang Corner in Tabuan Jaya here tomorrow (Jan 17).

The session, initiated by the service team of Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How, will be from 9am to noon.

Free FTES informational materials will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, while stocks last.

The session is organised in collaboration with the Malaysian Youth Movement (YMM) Batu Lintang branch.

In addition, assistance will be provided for senior citizens aged 60 and above to apply for the Sarawak Senior Citizen Health Benefit (SCHB).
