The Sarawak government will disburse a one-off payment of RM500 to 40,000 single individuals within the bottom 40 per cent (B40) income group. This financial aid is scheduled to be disbursed next month as part of the Bantuan Khas Sayangku Sarawak (BKSS) initiative. This specific allocation targets single individuals who meet the B40 criteria and have successfully appealed for assistance.
Additional Single Individuals to Benefit from BKSS

Beyond the 40,000 single individuals receiving the RM500 payment, the BKSS fund has already provided support to a significant number of others. A total of 432,000 single individuals are expected to benefit from the overall BKSS payments. These disbursements are part of a broader effort to alleviate financial burdens faced by lower-income groups.
Total Financial Commitment for BKSS

The Sarawak government's commitment to the BKSS initiative is substantial, with a total expenditure of RM943 million allocated for recipients. This figure encompasses payments already made and those planned for the future. The distribution is guided by lists provided by the Inland Revenue Board, ensuring that aid reaches the intended beneficiaries.
Previous Disbursements and Broader Household Support

Prior to this announcement, the state government had already disbursed approximately RM800 million to a considerable number of recipients. This included 397,000 households and 392,000 single individuals who qualified for the B40 BKSS fund. Furthermore, the BKSS initiative also supports low-income households, with 82,000 heads of households set to receive RM250 monthly for six months.
