News & Reviews:   Bantuan Prihatin Nasional

The Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) has been a great help to those who need financial support during the MCO period. However, all good things must come to an end. As recently announced on their official Facebook page, the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia have announced that the BPN's last day of registration is on 30 April 2020 (that's tomorrow).

The Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) was announced earlier this month and it served as a way for the government to ease the financial burden of Malaysians during the movement control order (MCO). Today, Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz announced that the second phase for Bantuan Prihatin funds will be given out starting from 4 May 2020.

As we continue to write news pieces and information on how to prevent yourself from scamming, the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) have posted a warning to the citizens on a piece of fake news. According to their Facebook page, they advised the public not to be fooled by a forwarded message about the Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) package being forfeited if not used during the second phase of the Movement Control Order.

During the Movement Control Order period, the government announced that every Malaysian citizen will get their financial relief fund via Bantuan Prihatin Nasional payment. However, 6 Malaysians have somehow lost nearly RM300,000 to scammers online through an APK installation via WhatsApp. Today, the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) have issued a step by step on how to prevent fro being scammed so here are the steps.

In line with the Bantuan Prihatin Nasional (BPN) initiative, today will be the first phase which will last until 12 April 2020. With this, the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia (LHDN Malaysia) have taken the initiative to inform every Malaysian citizen about the official SMS messages they will receive during this week.
