Let people decide if they want the RM100 aid, says Dr Wee


PETALING JAYA: Those who do not need the RM100 Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) cash aid should have the option to opt out and let the money be channelled to more critical areas such as education and health, says MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).

Dr Wee proposed redirecting the money to support public hospitals and award scholarships to deserving students, instead of using it for what he described as blanket populist measures.
