THERE is still lack of awareness of the various government schemes available to the underprivileged in Tanjung Malim, Perak, a social activist says.

Non-governmental organisation (NGO) Tanjung Malim Community Volunteers and Welfare Team founder Yee Jee Kwong said many needy folk, especially those among the Chinese, Indian and Orang Asli communities, still do not know about the available schemes.
