On September 30, the Selangor state government announced a RM100,000 allocation for the Selangor Rahmah Maintainence Assistance Programme 2026. This initiative aims to provide temporary financial assistance to women and children who have suffered due to syariah judgment debtors. Selangor Women’s Development and Community Welfare Committee chairman, Anfaal Saari, revealed that the assistance is estimated to benefit up to 50 families.
The one-off aid is distributed at RM2,000 for each wife and RM1,000 for each child, as per the rates set by the Family Support Division (BSK) of the Selangor Syariah Judiciary Department (JAKESS). The government aims to emphasize that this is not a substitute for the responsibility of those who should provide alimony, but rather temporary relief for those wronged by the Syariah Court.
To be eligible, applicants must be Muslim, reside in Selangor, have a household income below RM5,000 per month, and possess a valid Syariah Court maintenance order that hasn't been paid by the debtor. Interested individuals can apply at the JAKESS office along with the necessary application form.
