Out of the 4.1million approved BR1M applications announced by the government as todate, Batu constituency’s managed to get a total of 7,609 applications approved with the help from various BN component parties.  The successful applications will be getting the aid in the near future.

Gerakan Youth Secretary General Dr Dominic Lau said, Gerakan Batu Division will be distributing the first 1,410 RM500 to the successful applicants this Wednesday (18 Jan, 2012) at 8pm at UMNO Batu Division BN Service Center, distribution of the RM500 will be given to Chinese applicants first.

Dr Dominic said, “We are distributing the RM500 to Chinese applicants first because Chinese New Year is approaching, our intention to give priority to this group of citizens is to allow them to have money to buy goods to celebrate the festive season.  Apart from this, we will also be making phone calls or visiting the applicants at their home to inform the applicants that their application is successful so that they can make it on time to attend the aid distribution event this Wednesday.  With this, to those applicants who are informed, they have to bring their identification card and approval letter to the event for the purpose of identity verification.”

Dr Dominic added, “We had also visited the applicants from the low cost flats at Sentul to handover the approval letter to them.  These residents were very happy and grateful that the government had fulfilled their promise to ease their burden.  Besides, we also realized that there were no handle along the staircase from level 1 to level 7 of No. 213 flat while visiting the block, this is very dangerous especially to young kids.  We have informed the DBKL to look into this matter.”

With this, Dr Dominic also said that those successful applicants for the BR1M RM500 aid may call Gerakan Batu Division any time at 03-4045 8333 or UMNO Batu Divison Service Center at 03-6188 4389 for further information.
