Communications Ministry to step up efforts to spread information on government assistance
PUTRAJAYA: The Communications Ministry will step up efforts to ensure Malaysians are better informed about government assistance, initiatives and achievements.
The Communications Ministry in Malaysia is planning to intensify its efforts to disseminate information on government assistance, initiatives, and achievements to the public. Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil informed that the ministry will ensure the effective communication of various measures announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, including financial assistance, fuel subsidies, and other government efforts.
The ministry will provide this information to the public, ensuring that the message from the Prime Minister on the government's achievements and assistance reaches Malaysians. The government has allocated a substantial amount of RM15 billion for Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) this year, while RM40 billion has been set aside for RON95 and diesel subsidies under the Budi Madani programmes.
Fahmi also mentioned that the STR allocation is significantly higher than the amount previously provided under earlier assistance schemes.
