The Evening Edition, in collaboration with Influence 360, presents The Real Deal, a show where we will be looking into both BN's and PR's manifestos within these categories: Economy, Education, Corruption and Crime. To kick things off, we'll be exploring the Economy side of both manifestos; the BR1M initiative in particular, this Talkback evening. 

In Budget 2012, the government announced giving out a one-off cash payment of RM500 to households with an income of less than RM3,000 a month. The effort was to alleviate the burden of low-income earners in facing the rising cost of living.

Main question: Do you think the BR1M initiative helps Malaysians?
