MIRI: A total of RM139,000 in funding has been approved under Phase 4 of the 2025 allocation for non-Muslim houses of worship in the Piasau state constituency.
The funds were approved for two recipients in Piasau.
The Full Gospel Church Miri Branch Sarawak received RM90,000 to upgrade its audio-visual infrastructure, including a full audio system, LED screen and live streaming, and broadcasting facilities.
Separately, the Evangelical Missionary Church of Borneo, BEM Miri District, was allocated RM49,000 for office equipment to strengthen its administrative capacity.
