Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin says he will propose raising the monthly welfare payment to RM1,000 at the next Cabinet meeting.

MTUC secretary-general J Solomon said the move was timely and hoped it would be approved by the Cabinet. “The B40 workers can be assisted with this special aid monthly until the Covid-19 pandemic is declared under control and a vaccine is found,” he said in a statement today. “Malaysians would be watching tomorrow to see if the PM’s meaningful suggestion will get the nod of all Cabinet ministers and, hopefully, implemented as soon as possible, although on a broader scale to help those stuck in the B40 group,” he said.
