New form of BR1M to be introduced, says sec-gen


Good news: Some of the measures announced in Budget 2015 have brought welcome relief to Malaysians. Among the measures included tax breaks for about 300,000 individual taxpayers and higher BR1M payout.

KUALA LUMPUR: A new form of Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) will be introduced in the future, possibly in the form of food stamps or recipients using MyKad to purchase groceries and household items.

This was so that the aid could be distributed evenly throughout the year, said Finance Ministry secretary-general Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah.
