“Under the eKasih data, as at May 18 this year, Sabah’s hardcore poor household heads had dropped to 8,699. I hope more initiatives under MAFFI will involve them. We want to make sure they are lifted out of abject poverty,“ he said after his working visit to MAFFI at Wisma Pertanian here today. Importantly, he said the recently approved Sabah Padi and Rice Board must get underway as soon as possible in order to boost Sabah’s food self-sufficiency level .
