The needy seems to be getting cut off from aid while those underserving qualify for that same aid.
| If needy individuals are getting cut off from aid they are eligible for while those who are undeserving qualify for that same aid, what does this speak of the government’s attitude towards its people? More importantly, what kind of message is the government of the day sending the rakyat?
However, an individual’s eligibility for BPN should not be solely based on income status as income alone is not a fair nor accurate indicator of wealth. Such a narrow-minded threshold leaves loopholes in the system that are bound to be exploited. Needless to say, individuals who are genuinely needy simply do not have the kind of money Rosmah has been lavishly spending or throwing around. Therefore, if the government doesn’t take a more logical approach in restricting BPN eligibility, the result will be completely undeserving individuals like Rosmah qualifying for aid that should only be channelled to the disadvantaged.
