Pakatan: One-off handouts not enough to help poor
- 9 years ago
Pakatan Rakyat MPs are sceptical that the slew of one-off cash handouts announced in Budget 2012 would be beneficial for the lower-income group and pensioners.
Bagan MP Lim Guan Eng welcomed the move but opined that the amount of handouts to senior citizens was insufficient.
"It is better if they were given RM1,000 as suggested in the Buku Jingga (Pakatan's shadow budget document)," he said when met at the Parliament lobby.
