STR Fasa 3 disalur kepada 5.3 juta penerima hari ini

Malaysian Finance Minister announced that 5.3 million beneficiaries will start receiving enhanced cash assistance (STR) payments starting today. This brings the total number of recipients up by 300,000 compared to last year's initial 5 million recipients. The 3.9 million recipients who belong to low and middle-income households will receive payments ranging from RM150 to RM600 depending on their income and number of children.

In contrast, the 1.4 million elderly individuals without a spouse will receive a fixed amount of RM150. In total, the three phases of STR will amount to RM3.6 billion in 2026 based on the statement. Beneficiaries, depending on their eligibility criteria, can receive a cumulative assistance of up to RM3,300 until August 2026 through STR Fasa 1 to 3 and the Basic Rahmah Assistance (SARA) monthly grant.

According to the Finance Ministry, this total does not include the one-time SARA lump-sum assistance for all Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above.
