The coalition has promised to up BR1M this year from RM1,200 to RM2,000 for recipients with household incomes of RM3,000 and below. The 67-year-old said the extra money will come in handy in meeting the needs of his household. “The cost of living has gone up, so alhamdulillah, the BR1M can help to offset household costs and daily spending,” said Nurul Aini at his Batu Muda Public Housing Project (PPR) flat here yesterday.

Apart from that, the 56-year-old mother-of-four could also be a beneficiary of Barisan’s aim to tap the potential of single mothers through upskilling programmes, retraining schemes and special work opportunities.
