SARa Aid Distribution Commences for Hardcore Poor STR Recipients in Several Peninsular States

Recipients of the Rahmah Cash Aid (STR) identified as being in the hardcore poor category will begin receiving the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARa) aid, amounting to RM600, starting tomorrow, July 17. This initial distribution phase targets specific states across Peninsular Malaysia, with further states commencing their aid reception later in the month. The aid is intended to assist with the purchase of basic food necessities.
Initial Distribution States

Recipients residing in Kedah, Penang, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Negeri Sembilan, Kelantan, and Terengganu are scheduled to receive their SARa aid beginning tomorrow, July 17. This marks the first wave of distribution for the SARa initiative across the Peninsula.
Second Phase Distribution States

Following the initial group, STR recipients from Perlis, Perak, Pahang, Melaka, and Johor will commence receiving their SARa aid on July 31. This staggered approach ensures a systematic rollout of the assistance program to all eligible individuals in the Peninsula.
Aid Mechanism for Peninsula Recipients

For recipients in Peninsular Malaysia, the SARa aid will be disbursed in a cashless form, providing RM100 per month for a duration of six months, extending until December. This monthly credit will be automatically deposited into a dedicated account established using the recipient's MyKad, facilitating purchases at selected supermarkets and retail stores nationwide.
Broader Government Initiative

The Sumbangan Asas Rahmah is part of the broader Payung Rahmah initiative, with the Unity Government allocating approximately RM130 million to support underprivileged individuals, particularly the hardcore poor, in managing the rising cost of living. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that this aid aims to cover a portion of their daily expenses.
