ISKANDAR PUTERI: The government's decision to increase the monthly allowance for volunteer community assistants at Community Development Department (Kemas) kindergartens will help ease the burden of helpers.

Kemas director-general Ahmad Kamal Idris Mohd Nawawi said that volunteers previously received only RM500 per month, an amount unchanged for the past seven years.
