I have just received my BR1M (RM 500) along with a thousand or so recipients.

As a pensioner of some twenty years, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the government for this aid.  My wife and I are living at subsistence level with my small monthly pension, but we are able to make do as there is no car, house or school-going children to pay for.  Our needs are few and we are resigned to a frugal life, happily contributing towards the care of three of our grandchildren whose parents are out at work.

I am sure all the recipients of BR1M are filled with gratitude on receiving this gift as I do.
