: Minister of Economy, Rafizi Ramli, highlighted that the rate of hardcore poverty in Sabah stands at 1.2 percent in stark contrast to the national rate of 0.2 percent.
“It is followed by Beluran , Pitas , Kinabatangan , Kota Marudu , Tuaran , as well as Ranau and Lahad Datu at 2.4 percent each,“ he said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. Rafizi emphasised that the disparity was significant, considering that the national hardcore poverty rate had decreased from one percent in 2020 to 0.2 percent, equivalent to 18,445 households in 2022.
“Upon the completion of PADU and the comprehensive mapping of previously overlooked areas, numerous hardcore poor families in Sabah and beyond will have the opportunity to access assistance. This aid encompasses not only financial support but also programmes tailored for their children, such as TVET,“ he explained.
