KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has announced that the registration deadline for the 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) 2018 will be extended to Jan 25.
"For those who have yet to register, they can do so at ebr1m.hasil.gov.my or the nearest Inland Revenue Board branch," said Najib, who is also Finance Minister, in a tweet Thursday.
The Finance Ministry had previously said that the registration and updating of information for BR1M 2018 would be open to eligible recipients from Nov 27 to Dec 31, 2017.
The ministry said that spouses of BR1M recipients the previous year who had died or those whose applications failed or were disqualified would have to make fresh applications for BR1M 2018.
