Taib: We are drawing up systematic welfare policy
SIBU: Sarawak is in the midst of drawing up a systematic welfare policy for the people, regardless of racial, religious and social background, said Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud.“We are discussing what we can afford to do and how the system should work to benefit the people,” he said.Taib said the systematic welfare policy would also include a revision of the present list of welfare recipients.“I have instructed the Social Development and Urbanisation Ministry to revise the list from time to time to make sure every deserving member in our society receives assistance from the government,” he said to a crowd of about 2,000 people at the Harmonious Night Gala Dinner organised by seven Chinese clan associations here on Thursday night.Taib said the state government was also working hard to eradicate urban poverty following the rising cost of living due to rapid urbanisation.“The state government, in the last one year, has been designing the policy on how to overcome urban poverty in the state to create a more prosperous society,” he said. — Bernama
