Monetary aid is always welcomed, be it for the youth or the elderly. A recent social media post claimed that the Social Welfare Department is offering RM500 monthly aid for senior citizens.
Is this true?
Verdict:
FALSE
“Do not be easily deceived,” the department wrote in a post on X (Twitter). The post was accompanied by a graphic proclaiming that it was fake.
Additionally, the department advised the public to only trust information from official sources, such as its official social media pages or the nearest District Social Welfare Office.
Jangan mudah terpedaya. Adalah dinasihatkan kepada orang ramai mendapatkan maklumat yang tepat hanya melalui laman sosial rasmi JKM atau hadir ke Pejabat Kebajikan Masyarakat Daerah yang berhampiran dengan tempat tinggal anda pic.twitter.com/9dkLmHM7jz — Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat (@jkmhq) September 3, 2024
