PSM: Giving handouts and subsidies won't address poverty, addressing discrimination will

PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan government must revise its methods of addressing poverty across the country, says Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) central committee member Sharan Raj.

Implementing subsidies and welfare benefits is not going to solve the issue, as poverty stems from all forms of discrimination - race, sexual orientation, mobility, as well as access to quality education and healthcare, said Sharan.
