KUALA LUMPUR: The Economy Ministry will hold discussions with all local authorities (PBT) to speed up the implementation of Inisiatif Pendapatan Rakyat (IPR) throughout the country.
Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said the government will work closely with the state government and local authorities in identifying and nominating target groups who are eligible and meet the criteria set for IPR participation.
"To ensure that those applying are eligible, a cross-check will be made with the eKasih data system, which is the existing list of hardcore poor recipients, as well as the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) recipient data.
"I will have a meeting with all PBT leaders across the country so that we can speed up this matter (implementation of IPR)," he said during the Minister Question Time session in Parliament today.
He was replying to a question from R. Yuneswaran (PH-Segamat) who asked how the IPR can help B40 households and the hardcore poor to generate regular income.
