KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 – Datuk Seri Najib Razak pledged today to help single mothers cope with higher cost of living through policies that will be implemented if his Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition is re-elected at the May 5 polls.
The offers include a life insurance scheme, discount cards applicable at 1Malaysia grocery stores and free legal service for divorcee, key issues for the demographic which forms close to one-tenth of Malaysia’s electorate.
The BN chairman said the pledges reflected the coalition’s appreciation for their support.
“Single mothers are BN’s vote bank. That is why we have decided to hold this special meeting with single mothers.
“They are a segment of society that we help to protect,” he told 6,000 single mothers at a special meeting session under the Juwita programme, an agency representing the constituents.
