Former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Muhyiddin Yassin, has called for the development of a comprehensive five-year plan specifically aimed at resolving urban poverty within Malaysia. He stressed the necessity of a dedicated master plan to effectively address the challenges faced by the urban poor. This plan should encompass critical areas such as affordable housing solutions, accessible healthcare services, employment opportunities, quality education, and robust social assistance programs. Muhyiddin believes a holistic approach is crucial for improving the living standards and future prospects of vulnerable populations in Malaysian cities. The initiative seeks to move beyond temporary measures, advocating for long-term, sustainable solutions to urban poverty across Malaysia. He highlighted the importance of coordinated efforts to ensure effective resource allocation and impactful outcomes for those in need.
