BKC recipients say aid brings much-needed relief


BERA: Rubber tapper Nor Ain Wazir describes the Special Covid-19 Aid (BKC) remitted into her account as a “windfall” for her family as she did not expect to have extra money this month.

Nor Ain, 25, who is an Orang Asli from the Semelai tribe, said the money provided relief as her income and that of her husband from rubber tapping were lacking.
