Process is free, Lee tells BR1M applicants

Timely aid: The first stage of BR1M payouts for this year is under way. The cash assistance is given out to households in three stages – in February, June and August.

PETALING JAYA: Beware of strangers who come up to you saying that you may be eligible for financial assistance, and offer to help you get the cash.

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Lee Chee Leong said the 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) secretariat has advised applicants that the process is free and does not involve such agents.
