BR1M 2.0
Musa starts distributing BR1M 2.0
SANDAKAN: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman distributed a total RM1 million to 2,000 eligible recipients of the RM500 Bantuan Rakyat 1 Malaysia (BR1M) 2.0 from his Sungai Sibuga constituency in Libaran here.
The distribution at Dewan Sri Libaran, Sungai Kayu, Mile 7 on Thursday was done in several phases for the more than 10,000 eligible recipients in the constituency that included new applicants for BR1M and single young people scheme.
About 6,084 people in Sungai Sibuga who received RM500 each during the BR1M 1.0 last year automatically qualified to receive the RM500 cash assistance under BR1M 2.0 this year.
Musa who is Sungai Sibuga Assemblyman said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak decided to announce the second round of BR1M distribution when unveiling the National 2013 Budget because the Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders have told him that it had really touched the heart of the rakyat.
“The rakyat were really happy after receiving the BR1M last year so we told him that hopefully if possible that there will be another round.
“Thankfully, the Prime Minister announced the second round of BR1M and not only that, he also announced a new category for the young and single people who are earning less than RM2,000 per month in the National 2013 Budget,” he said.
“It is clear that the Prime Minister listens to the people and if there is a way to help the rakyat he will just do it,” he said while reminding the people here that the programme cost the government’s billion of ringgit.
Musa said the people were thankful to the BN government, in particular Prime Minister, not only for BR1M but many more goodies in this year’s Budget that covered the people all across the board in the country.
“I have always been asked for the reason Sabah continues to be the stronghold for BN and Umno.
“If the government, the Prime Minister are good the people of Sabah will not have the heart not to vote for BN when election comes as we want continuity of the many good programmes that has been introduced by the Prime Minister,” he said.
Accompanying Musa to distribute the RM500 cash to the recipients were Libaran MP, Datuk Juslie Ajirol, Gum-Gum Assemblyman, Datuk Zakaria Edris, Sabah Umno Wanita Chief, Datuk Armani Mahiruddin and Sandakan Municipal Council President Datuk James Wong. - Insight Sabah
