PUTRAJAYA, Jan 13 (Bernama) — Payment of the 1Malaysia People’s Aid (BR1M) for 2015 will begin on Thursday (Jan 15), Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan said today.
At the same time, he dismissed reports over the social media and smartphone applications that the payment began last Sunday.
The social media reports had stated that the eligible people could withdraw their BR1M payment beginning Jan 11 at CIMB Bank and Bank Rakyat; Jan 12 at Bank Muamalat and Bank Islam and Jan 13 and 14 at other banks.
“This is mean. There are those who make people angry because they have to go to the banks to queue up to withdraw the BR1M payment,” he told a news conference here.
“It is only tomorrow that we will complete sending the money to all the 18 selected banks, and on Thursday (Jan 15) those eligible can withdraw the payment,” he said.
