Ahli ekonomi, Ahmed Razman Abdul Latiff dari Putra Business School melihat peningkatan Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) sehingga RM3,700 pada tahun ini membantu merancakkan ekonomi setempat.
00:00The economy expert Ahmad Razman Abdul Latif from Putra Business School sees the increase in cash donations up to RM3,700 this year to help stimulate the local economy.
00:15His argument is that STR recipients, mostly B40s, will have the power to buy, as well as be able to support business operations around the area, including small businesses.
00:28Many parties benefit from the increase in STR aid, said the FMT, while proposing an additional amount of donations if the government has surplus revenue in 2025 spending.
00:41Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, who is also the Minister of Finance, announced that the maximum STR aid rate was increased to RM3,700 compared to RM3,100 previously.
00:56The minimum STR rate for his group has also increased from RM350 to RM500.
01:03Under the strategy of reducing the cost of living, the government spends RM10 billion, which will benefit 9 million recipients.
01:12Another economic expert, Muhammad Yusuf Qasim, also argued that in addition to stimulating the economy, STR can also be the key to removing recipients from the poverty line in the city.
