SERDANG: It’s going to be a happier Chinese New Year for the elderly and the underprivileged in Seri Kembangan because more than 6,000 of them will receive RM500 each under the Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) 2.0 programme.

Homemaker Yap Fui Lin said the aid would come in handy and would add that “extra zing” to her family’s Chinese New Year celebrations.

“The aid is definitely of help to us,” said the 48-year-old. “I’ve just spent a lot of money buying books, school uniforms and shoes for my children – and they weren’t cheap.
