The commission said that the approach should count on the active participation of vulnerable communities in decisions that would affect them.

The statement, in conjunction with the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, also said that the Covid-19 pandemic along with the lack of a comprehensive social protection system further exacerbated the insecurity and vulnerability of some communities. “It was reported that the number of poor households increased from 405,400 in 2019 to 639,800, a year later.

Suhakam added that whilst the government’s efforts to mitigate the impact of the pandemic and eradicate extreme poverty through the National Recovery Plan and 12th Malaysia Plan are lauded, a coordinated strategy is crucial to ensure effective implementation.
