The health protection scheme for struggling Malaysians starts today!

Apr 15, 2019

The Peka B40 scheme will allow recipients to go for free health screenings at select private clinics.

They will also receive medical equipment aid, incentives to complete cancer treatment and transportation subsidies to get treatment at government hospitals. 

There's no need to register for the aid.

As long as you're over 50-years-old and are a recipient of the Cost of Living Aid, formally known as BRIM,  you and your spouse will be eligible for the scheme.

Foreign Ministry urges US to remove Malaysia from 'K' list

The Foreign Ministry wants the US to remove Malaysia from the "K" list. 

The new "K" indicator is used to mark areas with a risk of kidnapping or hostage-taking situations. 

Wisma Putra says the US is concerned about eastern Sabah, but it should not be on the list as the number of kidnapping incidents has dropped to almost zero, thanks to increased patrols and closer security cooperation with neighbouring countries.
