KUALA NERUS: The welfare of the hardcore poor is a priority of the unity government, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim
He said the 'Rahmah' conceptual approach will also continue to be emphasised in all government programmes under his administration.
"The issue of welfare is called the Rahmah programme. We will make it the theme in all programmes to help the poor, especially the hardcore poor, which is our priority in the current government administration," he told reporters after attending a meeting with the heads of departments and senior federal officials at the Senate Hall of Universiti Malaysia Terengganu on Thursday .
In this regard, Anwar said he wanted to ensure that more focus is given to education, health and welfare projects for the people, including flood mitigation, as opposed to large or mega projects. Anwar also said that the federal government has always been open to working with all parties, including state governments under the opposition bloc, for the welfare of the people.
