SEREMBAN: The government needs to quickly come up with new strategies to combat poverty, says Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

The Umno deputy president, popularly known as Tok Mat, said although the government would soon be announcing strategies to "reset" the economy post-Covid-19, it was imperative that specific measures to fight poverty were also outlined simultaneously.
