RM750mil allocation for IPR is enough, says Rafizi


KUALA LUMPUR: The allocation of a total of RM750mil under Budget 2023 to implement the People's Income Initiative (IPR) to help 130,000 hardcore poor is sufficient, says Mohd Rafizi Ramli.

The Economy Minister said this was because the government is taking a different approach to managing the allocation by aiding participants on a monthly basis instead of providing one-off assistance.
