Relief efforts fast-tracked

PETALING JAYA: With the focus being on ways to ease the burden on families and individuals struggling amid the cost of living crisis, relief measures are being fast-forwarded by the government with the impact to be felt in January itself.

For starters, those eligible for cash aid under Bantuan Tunai Rakyat (BTR) will receive their payments this month, unlike previous aid programmes where recipients had to wait until March.
