State Government allowance for senior citizen in Selangor

This is true and will take effect from Oct-2008... wait for official announcement from the State Government.
Dear All,
The form 'Caruman Takaful Warga Emas' is for senior citizen who is 60 years old and above to apply their allowance only once in a life time which is at RM3,500.00.
Procedure as follow:-
1) fill in the form.
2) attach a copy of your parents i/c
3) submit to S.U.K. Shah Alam (in front of IPK Polis).
4) RM500.00 will release to your parents after submission(in short time period they will get it).
Government will update records and will arrange for interview with your parents for the will that balance RM3,000.00 to which children's account after they pass away.
The above application just for senior citizen whoever stay in Selangor only. You may submit the above application to S.U.K. Shah Alam on behalf of your parents.
If you have any further inquiries, you may contact 03-55447450 to find out more details.
Update 11th August
One Anonymous alerted me on a report in the Malay daily Berita Harian that the above notification is indeed a rumour. The Corporate Secretary to the Selangor State Government, Hassan Manaf has confirmed that the report is inaccurate. According to him, those senior citizen from the age of 60 and above who has resided in the state for a year or more is entitle to an insurance protection policy of RM3,500. However, no further details were given.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Meanwhile, we shall wait for the official announcement from the state government to further confirm this dubious report on the PKR rule state government's promise to its senior citizens. Nevertheless, I welcome their thoughts and sincerity in fulfilling their promise despite the setbacks they faced from the Federal Government through funds allocation and other sabotages.
Honestly. I would have prefer them to make a cash payout to its senior citizens as an insurance protection policy cannot benefit the senior citizen directly. How about part cash and part insurance scheme on a 50:50 ratio for the said scheme?
Think it over for the senior citizens...
