PUTRAJAYA: The Prime Minister wants a new and effective approach in providing social protection coverage to the people, and emphasised on the need to have a social protection database so that protection and aid can be handed out effectively.

Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the database, when available, will be the sole reference point for social protection programmes and will cover various aspects including employment, social insurance and social assistance.
