A message circulating on the Telegram app is claiming that there will be an additional RM600 Rahmah Cash Aid (STR) payment. Is this true?
VERDICT:
FALSE
According to the Finance Ministry, the message is fake.
"The STR Phase 3 payment had started on June 26 and that the appeal period is from July 3 to 31, to ensure the programme benefitted those who were eligible.
"Applicants can present the relevant documents for review by the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN)," said the ministry on Facebook.
The ministry also advised members of the public to always refer to official channels to obtain accurate news and information.
