Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim provided assurances last night that the Rahmah Cash Aid (STR) aid would be increased to cover Malaysians if the subsidy rationalisation affects the people, especially the poor.
The government has approved an additional allocation of RM50 million to expand the Rahmah concept implemented by the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry.
Widad Group Bhd, in a response to a Bursa Malaysia query, said it was not aware of any corporate development relating to the group’s business that has not been previously announced that may account for the activity, including those in the negotiation stage or discussion for several business proposals which were still under preliminary discussions.
