2020. The year of the pandemic where being kind is the strongest currency
Needless to say, much of the financial aid is channelled towards efforts to buffer socio-economic difficulties faced by all layers of the society during the Covid-19 pandemic. The usual TM contributions were ongoing on top of other matters that needed monetary attention.

I’m not quite sure how much I started with, in my Tabung Minci funds at the beginning of 2020. The total I spent for this year from the funds including the regular contributions (Al Yateem, Mercy Malaysia) amount up to roughly RM10K this year. Thankfully, I have also been getting extra allowances due to the occupational hazard of having to take swabs from patients, so I get to give more this year because of that. Alhamdulilah.
