what document I need to keep for record if I want to claim the RM5000 medical expenses for parent?

ohya, there is max of RM24000 annual income limit. i know i search and saw it somewhere before last year

We can only claim tax relief for Parent if the receipt payor name is us, not parent name?

Most of my parent medical receipt payor name is my parent name.
