MIRI: Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) Sarawak has urged the federal government to find a way to speed up the distribution of Bantuan Sara Hidup (BSH) to the recipients.

PAS Sarawak commissioner Jofri Jaraiee said many recipients were unhappy with the current system of disbursing the financial aid.

“Despite long queues and long waiting time, the recipients have no choice as Bank Simpanan Nasional is the only bank that handles the BSH distribution.

“The recipients from the rural areas and other faraway places had to wait a long time and some had to spend the night because they could not get their BSH on time as there were too many people waiting for their turn,” Jofri said in a press statement yesterday.

He thus urged the federal government to find a more efficient and systematic method to distribute the financial aid.
