Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has called for a halt to criticism of the RM100 Rahmah Necessities Aid (Sara), emphasising that the assistance is invaluable to many households facing economic hardship.

He explained that low-income families comprising a married couple with two adult offspring would receive RM400 in financial support, which could reach up to RM700 when coupled with the Rahmah Cash Contribution (STR) scheme.
