Thousands of Malaysians cashed out their Bantuan Rakyat 1Malaysia (BR1M) vouchers (BR1M) more than once, costing Putrajaya over RM3 million between 2012 and 2014, the first series of the 2014 Auditor-General's Report found today.
The report revealed that 2,188 (0.05%) of aid recipients cashed their vouchers at least twice in 2012, worth RM1.11 million; 2,490 (0.04%) in 2013, worth RM1.14 million; and 1,899 (0.03%) in 2014, worth RM1.09 million.
As of December 2014, 1,555 of the 2012 BR1M recipients, 1,850 of the 2013 BR1M recipients, and 1,401 of the 2014 BR1M recipients which made repeated claims have yet to repay the Finance Ministry, the report added.
The most number of repeated claims occurred when they cashed out the vouchers at Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN), compared to two other centres, Maybank and CIMB Bank.
