The Prime Minister said that a total of RM933,360,633.77 had been paid out between 2020 and last year. He said the payments followed court rulings against offences, negligence and wrongful acts committed by government officers or agencies. “A letter of reprimand will also be issued to the relevant ministry so that appropriate action can be taken,” he said. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister said that more than 12.5 million Malaysians have benefited from the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) untuk Semua programme, with expenditures exceeding RM1bil within just three weeks of its announcement. It said the use of MyKad as the medium for the Sara Untuk Semua programme makes it easier for the public to utilise targeted aid more efficiently.
