Payung Rahmah is Salahuddin's legacy and must continue, says Zahid


PONTIAN: The Payung Rahmah initiative should be continued by Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub's successor at the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Minister said the people, especially the low-income group (B40) and the hardcore poor, are hoping that the initiative can continue due to the current increase in the cost of living.
