A VIRAL message containing a link that claims to allow individuals to check their status and eligibility for the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) government cash aid has been making its rounds in chat groups and social media.
But is the link valid? Has the Finance Ministry created a site where individuals can enter their personal information to check their Sara eligibility?
Verdict:
FALSE
The Finance Ministry has confirmed that a viral message containing the link mentioned is fake.
The ministry said the cash aid is automatically provided to over 210,000 recipients of the Rahmah Cash Aid (STR) who are in the hardcore poor category.
Those who wish to check their eligibility should visit the official website at https://www.mykasih.com.my/food-aid-programme/sara/ instead.
Clicking on an unverified link may redirect users to a third-party website, placing one at risk for information theft.
People should stop and break the chain of spreading false information, as they may face legal consequences.
They should report any defamatory content or materials to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) immediately.
