News & Reviews:   SARA for all

Malaysia’s Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) for All assistance scheme is under review, with plans to broaden the range of eligible items to now include frozen food products. Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said the proposal is being evaluated with the SARA implementation team before any formal decision is made on the expanded food categories.

Today, Malaysia’s government has confirmed that a one-off payment of RM100 will be disbursed to all eligible Malaysians aged 18 and above under the SARA For All programme. The aid will be credited directly into recipients’ MyKad starting Monday, 9 February 2026.
