Good news to those who missed the application for Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia. The deadline has been extended by another month, to February 10.

Want to know how to apply, how’s eligible etc? Refer to my earlier post here:  Apply RM500 Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia

The deadline for the public to submit the application form for the RM500 Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) scheme has been extended to Feb 10.

Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah said the form could be submitted at all Inland Revenue Board (IRB) offices and agencies handling the aid.

The one-month extension came following appeals from those who were unable to submit the form by Tuesday.

The forms had been distributed since last month to assist households earning below RM3,000 a month.

Ahmad Husni said successful applicants would be given vouchers which they could cash at all Bank Simpanan Nasional, CIMB and Maybank branches.

“The distribution will begin on Sunday and is expected to take two months for completion.

“During the period, successful applicants will receive letters informing them of the dates and venues of the voucher presentations.

“The banks will also provide mobile counters for recipients to cash the vouchers which are valid until April 15,” he said.

Ahmad Husni said besides the letters, applicants could also check their application status by calling the hotline 1-800-222-500 and 1-300-88-3010 beginning Monday.

The hotline will operate between 9am and 5pm on working days.

Unsuccessful applicants can appeal by filling a special form available all IRB offices and the selected agencies.

The form can also be downloaded from the Finance Ministry’s websitewww.treasury.gov.my.

As of Tuesday, 3,102,054 applications had been approved from 4,123,713 forms received.

“The rest are being processed,” he said.

31 Dec deadline for govt fund applications via MIC

November 29th, 2011

Do spread the word around. Hope the schools, NGOs and temples are aware of this.

 All state MIC liaison committees have until Dec 31 to submit applications for Federal Government allocations to assist Tamil schools as well as Indian places of worship and NGOs in the respective states.

MIC president Datuk G. Palanivel said the deadline was to enable funds to be disbursed next year.

After receiving the applications, MIC’s headquarters would prepare a budget for allocations to be given out, either once or twice a year.

“It is difficult when they keep asking us for funds all year round.

“We cannot be going to the Prime Minister’s Department every now and then asking for allocations on their behalf,” he said after presenting RM185,000 in federal aid to six temples, a church and an NGO at the Penang state library auditorium here yesterday.

Palanivel, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, said once he knew the amount, it would be easier to obtain the allocation.

He said the money was usually for minor projects such as repairs and extensions, upgrading of toilets, electrical wiring, water pipes and drainage systems as well as for community programmes.

He encouraged Indian community leaders to contact MIC division leaders in their respective areas to submit proposal papers for the projects they planned to carry out.

“Some temples and NGOs miss out on the allocations because they submit their applications late and all the funds have been disbursed,” he said.

getting RM50 only as welfare aid

November 26th, 2011

The article didn’t mention if the adult children are staying with her, so that may be one of the reasons why she’s getting just RM50 as aid.  But being one of the 30 cases, then there may be some other issues here. The Welfare Dept’s guideline may also need to be updated, if there’s any provision for RM50. Nowadays even RM300 also not enough for the urban poor.

She lost her factory job and her husband died several years ago. Without a steady income, her health has deteriorated and her two adult children cannot even afford to fend for themselves.

Single mother Savunthary Muniandy, 49, is crying for help.

“My 22-year-old daughter is a single mother who has a baby to feed. My son, 26, has been wayward for a long time now.

“I can’t even afford to pay my medical bills for diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol problems. I owe my relatives over RM3,000 for my bills,” she said yesterday.

Savunthary is one of 30 single mothers from Cempaka Flats in Gombak, who sought help from the Umno Youth Community Complaints Bureau after they claimed their appeals for financial support from the Welfare Department had fallen on deaf ears.

She receives RM50 a month from the department which can hardly pay for her flat rental of RM450.

Bureau chairman Datuk Muhd Khairun Aseh said the single mothers received between RM30 and RM150 when they should be getting a minimum of RM300 a month, depending on their situation.

“How are they going to survive?” Muhd Khairun asked, adding that he had prepared a memorandum to be submitted to department officials on Monday for them to act on their complaints.

3 months no reply on welfare application?

November 20th, 2011

Wow! 3 months is a long time, especially the low income and poor folks who are in need of such help. Wonder why no reply. If not qualified or application incomplete, can just reply saying so.

Bagan Dalam state assemblyman A. Thanasekharan has threatened to stage a demonstration if the Social Welfare Department continues to delay processing application for aid from Seberang Perai Utara.

He was speaking to reporters after visiting the Social Welfare Department’s office in Kepala Batas on Tuesday.

Thanasekharan had gone to find out the status of 30 applicants who had submitted a request for aid about three months ago and had not received any reply.

“Most of the applicants had complained that they are usually told that the officer is not around, had gone out or no reply from the head office
