Each will receive between RM100 and RM300.

The body said it was one of its pro-active measures to assist Malaysians ahead of the festive season. The initiative, which began in Hulu Selangor on Aug 17, is being spearheaded by the foundation's corporate social responsibility director, Dr Shamsul Anwar Sulaiman.
