PETALING JAYA: Next year’s Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat (BPR) financial aid will be a relief for those most affected by a tumultuous 2020.

Intan Baiduri Residents Association (IBRA) committee member Khairul Anuwar Yusoff said many B40 residents at the people’s housing project in Kuala Lumpur were struggling to make ends meet.
