Malaysia To Give RM100 / RM50 Subsidy To B40 Group!
To assuage the concerns of many citizens who are struggling to make ends meet in a time of high inflation, the Prime Minister of Malaysia Ismail Sabri today announced that the government will give a small one-time subsidy to the B40 group :
- B40 families will receive RM100 (about US$22.70)
- B40 individuals will receive RM50 (about US$11.35)
This small cost-of-living subsidy is meant to help the B40 group cope with the increased food prices.
It will be paid to their accounts together with Phase 2 of Bantuan Keluarga Malaysia (BKM) programme for the B40 group.
For example, if you are a B40 senior citizen who is supposed to receive RM150 in Phase 2 of BKM, you will now receive RM200 = RM150 (BKM) + RM50 (additional cost of living subsidy).
