Introduction
The Kad Perak Sejahtera (KPS) is one of the State Government of Perak’s most meaningful social support initiatives. Designed to ease the financial burden of low-income households, the card provides monthly assistance for essential needs and improves the well-being of Perak residents.
In line with the Perak Sejahtera 2030 vision, this programme strengthens social welfare, supports food security, and promotes inclusive development across the state.
What is Kad Perak Sejahtera
Kad Perak Sejahtera is a welfare card provided to eligible households in Perak, primarily targeting the B40, poor and hardcore poor categories. The card replaces the earlier Kad Perak Prihatin and continues the state’s commitment to ensuring that vulnerable families have consistent access to basic necessities.
Using a cashless system, recipients can purchase essential food items and daily necessities at participating shops and supermarkets registered under the programme.
