I actually agree with UBI. The question is how much is acceptable living amount and how they source the money and how to implement it. I also support unconditional or even just unemployed (coz i will jump into that category without a second thought if the amount is good enough). The issue is this, can we trust the gov agency who is doing it? If you say let kwsp handle it then it's i agree. Kwsp is not gov but at the same time part of gov and thier work is definitely top class. Not like gov sector. And they have everything under thier fingers. Easily accessible information and data, efficient staff and most importantly everybody knows where the office is and familiar with thier working. I wouldn't mind going kwsp to get my ubi or direct bank in after processed by kwsp

No lar... it should not be kwsp...
a good department to take over this respobsibility of UBI is actually LHDN. All citizens who wishes to get UBI will need to have a income tax account (gov already wants this to happen), and LHDN will distribute the UBI.
For sake of discussion, lets say UBI for a person was decided to be 500rm per month. So everyone will get a tax credit of RM 500 per month, and those with credit will just ask LHDN to credit their bank accounts.
(solves the issue of T20 making noice, cos they will automatically get 500rm credit per month to knock off their PCB)
edit: anyone have a good idea what to call this tax credit? I don't mean tax rebate nor tax relief. Basically it is credit payable back to tax payer.
