Implementation of MyBeras postponed
Under the proposed MyBeras programme, eligible families will each receive 20kg of rice each month for a stipulated period.
Implementation of the MyBeras programme, scheduled to begin next month, has been postponed to give more time for the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry to improve the distribution mechanisme.
The ministry's secretary-general, Datuk Seri Dr Ismail Bakar, in a statement here today, apologised for any inconvenience caused.
The MyBeras programme was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak last Jan 28 when tabling the recalibration of the 2016 Budget.
Under the programme, eligible families will each receive 20kg of rice each month for a stipulated period.
Last month, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek was reported to have said that 85,401 hardcore poor families would stand to benefit under the programme.
