Chong: Don’t use taxpayers’ money to help victims who have been warned

PETALING JAYA: Nine million recipients see a RM600 increase in Rahmah Cash Aid to RM3,700, up from RM3,100.

PETALING JAYA: More funds should be used on the battle to wipe out job scams instead of spending them on the victims who were lured to work overseas for these syndicates.) said warnings on job scams have been circulated all the time to keep people informed of such crimes, but they seemed to have fallen on deaf ears.

“Taxpayers’ hard-earned money should not be spent on helping these victims, who had already been warned hundreds of times,” he said when contacted on Friday. Chong said the allocation, meant to show care and sympathy for the victims, might send out the wrong message to the public, making them misunderstand that it is okay to try their luck with these syndicates because there is government funding to help them.

“The public needs to be well informed on the latest tactics used by these scammers and must be equipped with the knowledge of how to check with the respective authorities on the matter.
