SANDAKAN, July 1, 2025 — Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying expressed her pride in joining Sandakan MP YB Vivian Wong to distribute eco-friendly food containers to students, as part of a collaborative effort with Persatuan Cahaya Hijau Sabah. Lim allocated RM50,000 to the association to implement the program across 10 schools, aiming to raise environmental awareness among the younger generation and reduce reliance on single-use plastics.
“Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges we face today,” Lim said. “By reusing eco-friendly food containers, students not only help curb pollution but also become young ambassadors for change, spreading the green spirit to their schools, homes, and communities.”
She highlighted the initiative as a reflection of the MADANI Government’s commitment to embedding sustainable living into daily practices.
Lim extended her gratitude to the schools and teachers for their dedication to fostering environmental consciousness among students.
“I hope this allocation will further ignite efforts to build a green culture,” she said, adding that “big changes always start with small steps, like a single food container.”
She called for continued collaboration to ensure a greener, more sustainable future, emphasizing the importance of collective action in tackling environmental challenges.
