GEORGE TOWN: Although cash aid programmes like Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) are welcomed relief efforts, there are calls for the government to address the root cause of financial hardship in the lower-income group.
Housewife Azimah Aziz, 41, said the initiatives are timely, but stressed the need to reduce the impact of rising prices of essential goods.
