Other than the AIR programme, a total of RM39.6mil has been channelled to provide subsidies for university degrees programmes, private kindergarten education and dialysis procedures.This is also the first time in seven years that Mitra successfully utilised all RM100mil allocated, Ramanan said during a press conference at the Mitra office yesterday.
“Following Sedic’s rebranding to Mitra in 2018, the unit used 58% of its allocation in 2019, 63% in 2020, 73% in 2021 and 63% in 2022. When asked whether Mitra hoped for more funds under the upcoming Budget 2024, Ramanan said he would leave it to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
