KUALA LUMPUR: The Social Welfare Department (JKM) today dismissed as fake news a viral message that it has opened an online application for all senior citizens to secure a monthly aid of RM500 this year.
The Quick Response Team of the Communications and Multimedia Ministry, in a statement, said JKM advised the public to not easily trust any information circulated on social media.
