Pelawan rep offers newlywed couples RM500 each, RM300 if they have a baby

SIBU: Couples in the Pelawan constituency will be given RM500 when they get married and another RM300 when they have a child, in a move to encourage more marriages.

“We are giving RM500 ‘ang pao’ to couples who marry in 2022 on condition that either the husband or wife is a voter in the Pelawan constituency. This is to congratulate them on their wedding and to encourage young people to get married,” said Pelawan assemblyman Michael Tiang at the opening of his service centre here on Friday (March 11).
