SANDAKAN: Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has raised the idea of increasing the monthly aid from the Department of Social Welfare to RM 1,000 from the current amount ranging between RM 200 and RM 300.
He said that this proposal would be raised at the next Cabinet meeting.
“I know this statement of mine has a great implication, but I don’t care.
“The important thing is the livelihood of our people in the B40 group. They have suffered for a long time, ”he said in a meeting with community leaders here today.
Muhyiddin arrived in Sabah yesterday for a two-day visit, the first since he was appointed prime minister in March.
Muhyiddin said the Perikatan Nasional government was determined to continue efforts to help the B40 group.
He said he was saddened by the plight of this group, as the country has been independent for so long.
He added that life had been a great struggle for them because their income was small.
