WITH Ramadan already here, a poster featuring an image of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been circulating on social media, claiming the government is offering a one-off RM500 Ramadan aid payment.
The post, which has been shared widely across various platforms, includes details on how to apply for this supposed assistance along with claims about e-Tunai credit.
But is the government really distributing special financial aid for Ramadan?
Verdict:
FALSE
The Finance Ministry has dismissed as false claims circulating on social media regarding applications for Ramadan aid and claims for e-Tunai credit.
In a Facebook post shared by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the Finance Ministry said a poster promoting "RM500 one-off Ramadan aid" bearing the Prime Minister's image is fake.
The ministry advised the public not to click on suspicious links or share personal information with unauthorised sources, and to verify information through official Finance Ministry channels.
Authentic information is available on the Finance Ministry's official website at www.mof.gov.my and its verified social media accounts.
