“The cost for each person is about RM160, which brings the total to over RM8,000 which was spent to fund this programme,” he said after inaugurating the Closing Ceremony of the D’Village Spies Smart English and Pintar Matematik (Smart Mathematics) here in Lembah Klang yesterday.
Khasim said that the organisers provided coupons that can be used in several selected clinics in Lembah Jaya and it is different from other circumcision programmes.
“Usually, many of these programmes hold mass circumcision ceremonies. However, this time is different. We give coupons to the parents of participants to go to selected clinics at the appropriate time according convenience.
