RM1.2bil set aside for persons with disabilities

GEORGE TOWN: In the past, loans for persons with disabilities (PWD) were practically non-existent, even for small amounts.

Under Budget 2024, a total of RM1.2bil has been allocated for PWD under various forms of assistance such as care for the chronically ill and the bedridden, unemployment benefits for unemployable PWD, and allowances for PWD workers which will help them improve their lives and alleviate the pressure of inflation.
