Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has revealed that the first phase of the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) programme will commence disbursements on 20 January 2026.
The STR initiative is aimed at providing targeted financial assistance to eligible Malaysians to ease the burden of rising living costs. Recipients can expect their payments to be credited directly, marking the start of the government’s ongoing effort to support vulnerable households.
Further details on eligibility and payment procedures are expected to be released by the authorities ahead of the rollout.
