KUALA LUMPUR: The Methodist Church in Malaysia (MCM) has expressed gratitude for the financial assistance announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Wednesday (July 23), describing it as timely and inclusive.
In a statement on Thursday (July 24), MCM Bishop Dr T. Jeyakumar said that while some may downplay the significance of the aid, it should not be overlooked that the government is making a major financial commitment to support its people.
"I am truly thankful for the announcement made by the Prime Minister," he said.
He praised the government’s decision to make the assistance available to all Malaysians, regardless of race or religion.
"The amount may not be much, but at least the government is stepping in to help, rather than telling us to stay home and dip into our own EPF savings," he added.
