On May 17, Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari announced that 3,000 pilgrims would receive a RM500 incentive for Haji Muassasah, specifically for the low- and middle-income groups (B40 and M40).
He said in addition to the cash assistance, the pilgrims will also receive a syifa (healing) kit including medicines, disinfectant, lotion, and lip balm.
The eligibility criteria for the incentive are as follows:
- Must be Malaysian citizens.
- Must be Selangor residents and have registered for Hajj at any branch of the Selangor Tabung Haji Board.
- Applicants residing outside Selangor (based on identification card) but living in Selangor can still apply for this incentive provided they submit supporting documents such as utility bills (water/electricity) or property tax under the applicant’s name only OR a support letter from the local leader.
- Applicants must be Haj Muassasah pilgrims from the B40 and M40 groups only, with the haj payment amount determined by the Tabung Haji Board (TH). Haj payment amount for the B40 Group is RM10,980.00 and M40 at RM15,980.00.
- Applicants residing in Selangor but registered for Haj at a Tabung Haji branch outside Selangor can still apply, provided they submit a MySemakSPR (Voter Registration) slip from Selangor.
