Eligibility for the Bantuan Keluarga Malaysia (BKM) cash aid will be expanded under Budget 2023.
Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz has announced a new category of recipients for the BKM under next year’s budget.
Households with five or more children that are earning less than RM2,500 per month will now qualify for RM2,500 in cash aid.
“This new category is part of the government’s efforts to lighten the burden of families with many children,” Zafrul said in the Budget 2023 presentation in Parliament today.
