How can duplication of aid for the hardcore poor be avoided?

Question

Accepted Answer

Coordination of Aid Distribution for the Hardcore Poor Will Be Discussed to Prevent Duplication

Discussions will be held between the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council (MAIWP), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and the Social Welfare Department (JKM) to streamline aid applications for the hardcore poor and prevent the duplication of assistance. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar indicated that this coordination is necessary to ensure aid is distributed in a more systematic, orderly, and effective manner.
Proposed Lead Agencies for Aid Applications

It is proposed that DBKL and JKM will serve as the primary agencies responsible for managing aid applications from the hardcore poor. MAIWP is expected to provide support and assistance in this process, facilitating a more integrated approach to welfare provision.
Enhanced Cooperation for Homeless Assistance

The collaboration between MAIWP, JKM, and DBKL is also anticipated to lead to the development of more transit houses. This increased capacity aims to assist a greater number of homeless individuals, addressing their immediate needs and providing pathways to more stable living situations.
Initiatives to Support the Homeless Community

The "Jejak Gelandangan" (Tracking the Homeless) programme, conducted in partnership with the non-governmental organisation "Pertubuhan Jejak Jalanan," is one initiative aimed at assisting the homeless population. This programme has covered various areas within Kuala Lumpur, including Lorong Haji Taib 2, Medan Tuanku, and areas around Segi College, Bangkok Bank, Masjid Jamek, and the National Mosque.
