RELA's RM8 hourly allowance should be reviewed, activist says
The RM8 hourly allowance for RELA volunteers is no longer seen as fitting given their workload and the rising cost of living. Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye, chairman of Pertubuhan Ikatan Komuniti Selamat, backed a review because the rate falls below the minimum wage. The Home Minister had earlier said the allowance should be revised to a reasonable range.
