Finance Ministry will disperse funds to 14k Orang Asli without bank accounts

Some 14,000 out of 82,000 Orang Asli eligible for government aid do not have bank accounts that would enable them to accept cash assistance through the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR).

Therefore, Finance Minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan said his ministry will begin fund dispersal in remote areas to help those unable to access the much-needed aid, Utusan reported.
