KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 ― In its Shared Prosperity Vision (SPV) roadmap to create a decent living standard for all Malaysians by 2030, the Pakatan Harapan government has identified nine priority groups for social-economic aid.
They are:
― The bottom 40 per cent of wage earners and those who are poor and economically vulnerable
― Communities in economic transition
― Indigenous communities
― Sabah and Sarawak Bumiputera
― People with disabilities
― Youth
