The Finance Ministry received a fund application from the Orang Asli Development Department (Jakoa) for school buses ferrying Orang Asli children in Cameron Highlands seven days ago, and approved it within five days, Lim Guan Eng said today.

The finance minister was commenting on Jakoa director-general Juli Edo saying the department is still waiting for the ministry's approval to settle overdue payments from April to June.
