Kelantan Success Story: 14,000 Households Escape Hardcore Poverty in 2023
In a remarkable achievement, over 14,000 households in Kelantan have been lifted out of hardcore poverty, thanks to a two-phase initiative implemented by the government. According to the Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister, this effort has brought significant improvements to the lives of many families in the state. The programme, which aimed to eradicate poverty and promote sustainable development, has been successful in providing essential support to those in need. By addressing the root causes of poverty and promoting economic growth, the initiative has not only improved the standard of living for thousands of households but also contributed to the overall socio-economic development of Kelantan. As Malaysia continues to strive for a more equitable society, such efforts are crucial in reducing poverty rates and promoting environmental sustainability. With the government's commitment to helping those in need, it is expected that more households will be lifted out of poverty in the coming years, paving the way for a brighter future for all. Key initiatives like these are essential for achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in reducing poverty and promoting sustainable development. By working together, we can create a more prosperous and sustainable future for all Malaysians.
