BINGKAS in the Selangkah application stands for Bantuan Kehidupan Sejahtera Selangor. This is an aid program run by the Selangor Government and it is one of the initiatives to help low-income families in Selangor. Through BINGKAS, each recipient family will receive assistance of RM300 per month for 24 months.
This assistance is provided through BINGKAS Wallet which is integrated in the Selangkah application.
