Tambun: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today extended donations to four hardcore poor families in his Tambun parliamentary constituency in a bid to help them break away completely from the hardcore poverty cycle. The donations were presented by his political secretary, Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi, during the Ziarah MADANI programme, which aims to ease the burden of those in need.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, these four families are grappling with various challenges, including irregular income, caring for disabled family members or elderly parents, and bearing the medical costs of sick children. Despite their differing circumstances, they share a common need for support and assistance to break away from the cycle of hardcore poverty, as expressed by Ahmad Farhan in a Facebook post that was also shared by Anwar.

Ahmad Farhan highlighted that, thanks to coordination and monthly assistance from the Social Welfare Department (JKM), these families have now moved out of the hardcore poor category, with their per capita income exceeding RM312 per month. In addition to JKM assistance, the families also received zakat aid from the state government and the Rahmah cash aid (STR).

This support aims not only to provide temporary relief but also to take concrete steps towards enabling these families to become independent and build a better life. Ahmad Farhan emphasized the MADANI government's commitment to continuing to help those in need, ensuring that no one is left behind in the effort to eradicate hardcore poverty in the country.
