IN THIS day and age with the cost of living rising, any news of financial aid would go viral - especially if it claims to be a government announcement.
Recently, a poster claiming that there will be RM700 Special Financial Aid 2024 went viral online. Is this poster true?
VERDICT:
FALSE
The Public Service Department (PSD) has dismissed as fake a viral poster on the RM700 Special Financial Aid 2024.
"The information displayed on the poster is false. The viral poster is actually from 2022 and has been modified,” JPA said in a post on Facebook.
Accompanying the post is the fake poster, which mentioned that the infographic was prepared by the department’s Corporate Communication Unit in back December 2022.
The fake poster also claims that the special aid will be disbursed on April 5.
