“STR is much needed especially by the B40 group with many children to raise while caring for their elderly parents.“The reliance of the people on STR does not mean that they are lazy, but the pressures of the soaring cost of living are causing the economic gap to widen,” he said, adding that to supplement his income he has to sell burgers at night.
A housewife in Kedah, Aishah Abdul Rahim, 45, said the amount might be small to some but it is a huge help for her who has to raise three young children.
