MOF Warns of RM100 SARA Aid Scam Links
The Finance Ministry (MOF) has clarified that recipients of the one-off RM100 SARA aid do not need to register, amid growing concerns over scam links and misinformation spreading online. Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying said the aid will be automatically credited to all eligible MyKad holders aged 18 and above starting Aug 31, and any claims that users must sign up through online portals are false and potentially dangerous. 'We've received numerous inquiries and complaints about fake websites and links related to RM100 Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) aid registration. 'Let me be clear, these are scams. Do not click on or share them,' Lim emphasised, while stressing that no application is needed as the aid will be directly credited to recipients' MyKad. On July 23, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that a one-off RM100 SARA cash aid that will be credited via MyKad to all Malaysians aged 18 and above. This part of broader Madani government initiatives, which also include toll hike postponements and a RON95 fuel price cut to RM1.99 per litre later this year. Lim added that in the event eligible individuals do not receive the payment by Aug 31, the government will provide follow-up information and guidance. Meanwhile, Lim also revealed that the government is reviewing proposals to include wet goods such as chicken, fish and meat under the SARA programme. 'The consideration is part of ongoing efforts to align the programme with real consumer needs, especially among lower-income households. 'We're open to feedback. Any expansion will be thoroughly studied in consultation with relevant stakeholders, including the recipients themselves,' she said. As of May 1, the SARA programme covers 14 categories of essential goods, including food, medicine, hygiene products, school supplies and household cleaning items, amounting to over 90,000 eligible products nationwide. The MOF urges Malaysians to rely only on official government channels for accurate updates and to report suspicious messages or websites related to the aid. Related

Anwar puzzled by calls to extend RON95 price cut to foreigners
PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has defended the government's decision to exclude foreigners from enjoying the subsidised RON95 petrol price of RM1.99 per litre, stressing that the subsidy is meant exclusively for Malaysians. Speaking at the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2025 campaign, Anwar said, 'This is not discrimination, but the policy of a sovereign nation prioritising its people.' Foreigners and tourists, including those from Singapore, will pay the market rate of RM2.50 to RM2.60 per litre. He also questioned opposition claims that foreigners contribute to the national economy, asking, 'In what part of the world are foreigners treated the same as citizens?' Anwar added that the targeted subsidy approach is expected to reduce government spending that was previously extended to non-taxpaying foreign nationals. Despite criticism over the six-sen reduction, he emphasised it was a carefully considered move aligned with the MADANI government's commitment to social justice. —July 27, 2025 Main image: Sinar Daily

RON95 Price Cut A Boon For Sabahans
KOTA KINABALU, July 27 (Bernama) -- The government's decision to lower the price of subsidised RON95 petrol is expected to significantly boost economic growth and improve the standard of living for the people in Sabah. Civil servant Ampuan Suhaini Ampuan Kassim, 51, said the government's proactive move was a bold decision that can help sustain economic stability for the people. 'The previous hike in RON95 prices had affected the cost of goods and services, even those under government control,' she told Bernama. Ampuan Suhaini, who frequently commutes between Papar and Kota Kinabalu, said the price reduction is especially beneficial to rural residents who rely heavily on private transport. She added that the announcement reflects the Prime Minister's commitment to fulfilling his promise of enhancing the people's well-being. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today clarified that the subsidised RON95 petrol price of RM1.99 per litre, announced last Wednesday (July 23), applies only to Malaysian citizens, while foreigners will be charged market rates. He said this is to ensure the government's subsidy benefits only citizens, in line with the MADANI Government's approach, which emphasises social justice. Meanwhile, army retiree Armendas Keratas, 56, said although the six-sen reduction in RON95 price may seem small, it holds great significance for Sabahans. 'Even though some voiced out disappointment and called for 'Anwar to step down', the reality is, the petrol price will go down and this decision truly matters to the people,' he said.
