KUALA LUMPUR: Unmarried professionals in the capital city with a gross monthly income of more than RM5,000, categorised as the M40, are often left out from receiving government assistance because they are classified as ineligible.

However, in reality, those in the M40 group with a monthly income of between RM4,851 and RM10,970 are also financially burdened, especially those who are breadwinners in the family responsible for household needs, schooling and medical expenses.
