LBKM has continued to receive overwhelming support from the Malay/Muslim community, with more than 70 local Malay and Muslim organizations enlisting as members, LBKM has been and will continue to be a key player in the community by providing much-needed financial assistance to students, to enable them to pursue their dreams and ambition.
