KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 — Over 30,000 farmers and small-scale commodity growers have been approved to receive the initial cash subsidy assistance under the Budi Madani initiative, according to the Ministry of Finance (MoF). Each approved applicant will receive RM200, disbursed through bank accounts on June 10, while those without bank accounts can claim the subsidy at any Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) branch across Peninsular Malaysia by presenting their MyKad.
The MoF encourages eligible applicants to continue registering for Budi Madani, noting that applications submitted in June 2024 will qualify for payments for both June and the subsequent month. Applications after June 2024 will only be eligible for payments starting in July 2024. The ministry also highlighted that many applications were initially rejected due to ineligibility, advising those affected to check their status and appeal on the Budi Madani website.
