Cash Aid Disbursed At 36 Remote Locations Across Sabah To Reach Unbanked Communities
KOTA KINABALU, June 23 (Bernama) -- Direct cash assistance under the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) scheme is being disbursed at 36 locations across 16 interior districts in Sabah, to reach eligible low-income recipients without bank accounts.
The outreach programme, which began on June 21 and will continue until July 30, targets beneficiaries from the B40 income group who may otherwise be excluded from receiving government aid due to limited access to banking services.
In a statement today, the Finance Ministry said the initiative is being implemented in collaboration with the Sabah State Treasury, Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), the state government and related agencies.
