I leave that to the financial experts and economic analysts. We will certainly learn a lot from them. But the major concern of my neighbours living in the Projek Perumahan Rakyat is — where to get the money to put food on the table.
Many of the flat-dwellers are salaried people, with total household income of not more than RM4,000 a month. That’s two persons’ wages — husband and wife. In my book, they are the urban poor; they are the ones in serious need of help. And Muhyiddin’s Prihatin package is just the boost the urban poor need.
On Friday, Muhyiddin announced that RM1,600 will be allocated to those whose household income is less than RM4,000 a month; and RM1,000 per household whose income is between RM4,001 and RM8,000 a month. It could be doubling their production when the situation returns to normal; or a vote for Muhyiddin in the next polls. Never underestimate the intelligence of the ordinary rakyat. And the MP for Pagoh is not a novice, mind you.
