RIM chairman Rosmin Hashim said the association received annual funding support of RM100,000 from Public Performance Malaysia , which is the oldest collective management organisation in the country. The launch, which was officiated by Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub is in line with the"Payung Rahmah" initiative to help ease the people’s cost of living.
"We are concerned about the plight of veteran artistes who are struggling to make ends meet as well as those who need help paying their huge medical bills. We are very grateful that a programme like this has been successfully implemented.
