RM100 Monthly Cash Aid for Low-Income Families

Each low-income family in Selangor will receive RM100 in cash aid per month for a duration of six months. This assistance is part of the Kita Selangor Voucher initiative, which falls under the broader RM140 million Selangor Resilience Strengthening Package Phase 1. The programme is designed to help residents navigate current economic challenges, including rising living costs and global supply chain disruptions.
Distribution and Eligibility

The initiative is set to commence on June 30, with recipients being identified through existing databases. These include the Selangor Well-being Life Assistance Initiative (Bingkas) and the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU), ensuring that aid reaches those most in need. The review process for recipient lists is scheduled for June 22 and 23, with notifications to follow for qualifying individuals.
Funding and Scope of Package

The total allocation for the Selangor Resilience Strengthening Package Phase 1 amounts to RM140 million, announced on April 16. This package aims to support residents in coping with economic uncertainties. The Kita Selangor Voucher initiative is one component of this larger economic support framework.
Broader Economic Support Measures

Beyond the cash aid for families, the Selangor government is implementing other measures to alleviate financial burdens. This includes an additional RM5 million allocation for the 2026 Jelajah Ehsan Rahmah (JER) programme, bringing its total to RM10 million. Furthermore, a RM30 monthly public transport subsidy for 50,000 users via the Nine application is being introduced, with plans for expansion to other public transport modes. A free breakfast programme for 120,000 students in need is also being rolled out across 965 schools.
