He said the 2019 NHA was a continuous appreciation from the government to the MAF veterans for their loyalty and sacrifices to the nation. “Although, the government is still facing financial constraints but in appreciation of the sacrifices of MAF veterans, the government can still afford to allocate RM79.6 million to implement the 2019 NHA to a larger number of recipients, namely, 159,368 pensionable and non-pensionable MAF veterans compared to only 43,000 non-pensionable MAF veterans who received the 2017 BBN initiative,” he said.
He said the ministry through the MAF Veteran Affairs Department would be responsible to implement the 2019 NHA initiative.
