Go easy on needy in difficult times

WE are thankful that Malaysians are a caring people and the Government too has done its part to assist the needy.

The Welfare Department (Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat or JKM) identifies those who are in need and grant them monthly financial subsidies. Those who qualify for such subsidies include the physically and mentally challenged (due to birth defects or through accidents) those who are infirm, and the elderly destitute.
