Question

Accepted Answer

Bantuan Wang Ihsan Aid Disbursement Reaches RM78.342 Million

As of Wednesday, RM78.342 million in Bantuan Wang Ihsan (BWI) aid has been disbursed for the 2025/2026 North-east Monsoon. This disbursement has directly reached 78,342 affected heads of households since the monsoon commenced on November 13 last year.
Processing Time Significantly Reduced

The processing time for BWI applications has been drastically shortened, a key achievement of the recent reforms. During the initial and second phases of the monsoon, the average processing time was less than 14 working days. For subsequent phases, after a temporary relief centre (PPS) has closed, the average processing time is now between three to seven working days, a notable improvement from previous periods where processing could extend beyond six months.
Digitalisation and Strategic Partnerships Drive Efficiency

The success in expediting aid disbursement is largely attributed to a collaborative effort between the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma), the Department of Social Welfare, and Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN). This partnership has been significantly enhanced by the digitisation of the My Info Bencana app, a component of the Madani Government agenda. The MYIBJKM app incorporates geo-restriction and QR code technology, ensuring that only residents genuinely affected within a 60-meter perimeter of a PPS can submit applications, thereby streamlining the verification process.
Direct Crediting and Cash Collection Options Available

Eligible recipients are notified via SMS once the RM1,000 aid is credited to their bank accounts. For those who prefer or require it, the aid can also be collected in cash at any Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) counter. This multi-pronged approach aims to reduce bureaucratic hurdles, minimise physical paperwork, and eliminate redundant verification stages.
Review of Flagged Applications Underway

Nadma is currently reviewing the remaining flagged applications to ensure all eligible victims receive assistance. These flagged cases include applications involving non-private residences, instances of duplicate addresses or claims from the same household, and those with incomplete family details. Prompt payment will be issued upon the update of details and submission of verifiable utility bill addresses through the MyIBJKM system.
