The Ministry of Finance has provided more details on the Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) cash aid that will be disbursed to eligible Malaysians. This is to help Malaysians from the B40 and M40 group cope with the economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. The one-off cash handouts amounting to RM10 billion are part of the RM250 billion stimulus package that was recently announced by Prime Minister.
According to the MOF’s statement, the payment of the BPN will be disbursed in two separate payments at the end of April and May 2020.
As announced by the PM, the cash aid will be given to 4 different groups as listed below:
RM1,600 will be given to 4 million households with a monthly income of RM4,000 and below. RM1,000 will be paid in April and RM600 in May 2020.
RM1,000 will be allocated to 1.1 million households with a monthly income of more than RM4,000 to RM8,000. RM500 will be paid in April and another RM500 will be paid in May 2020.
