PARLIAMENT | Perikatan Nasional has issued a counteroffer in welfare aid to Malaysians, in response to the recently tabled Budget 2026.

Branding the government’s Rahmah Necessities Aid (Sara) programme as conditional and limited in nature, opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin (PN-Larut) instead proposed RM500 through its Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) scheme.
