The budget execution for the "Little Stars, Big Dreams" initiative showcased strong cost efficiency and responsive financial planning, with key highlights including RM 415.68 saved on the computer set and RM 61.69 on the projector setup, allowing for strategic reallocation of funds to urgent needs. The decision to drop the playground repair (originally RM 1,000) enabled the team to redirect resources toward transportation, a puzzle mat (RM 193.67), reward materials (RM 82.00), and mini gifts (RM 40.59), which were not in the original budget but enhanced motivation and community engagement. The puzzle mat served as a valuable alternative to the playground, supporting safe, interactive learning. Overall, these adjustments reflect a proactive and transparent approach to budget management, ensuring that the initiative effectively met its objectives while maximising the impact of available resources.
