Those whose BR1M application was rejected can appeal from next month

CYBERJAYA: Malaysians whose 1Malaysia People's Aid (BR1M) application was rejected this year, can appeal for the aid from next month.

Applications for the appeal must be sent to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB), said Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani today.

"Those who did not receive BR1M this time around, can send their appeal for consideration beginning April.

"The IRB will decide on the next process after receiving the application," he told reporters after attending the 'Hari Hasil 2018' at IRB headquarters here today.
