Experts call for comprehensive review of poverty line in Malaysia to address diverse challenges

PUTRAJAYA: The poverty line in Malaysia may need a comprehensive review as part of the nation's ongoing efforts to eradicate poverty, says economist Prof Dr Yeah Kim Leng, a member of the Prime Minister’s policy advisory committee.

Yeah emphasised that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to tackling poverty and any measures implemented must consider the diverse challenges faced across various demographics in the country.
