PARLIAMENT | The government will upgrade the e-Kasih system with the use of new technologies to obtain more accurate data of people in the poor and hardcore poor categories, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced today.
He said RM6.8 million would be allocated to upgrade the database of the e-Kasih system next year.
“I’m aware that the existing (e-Kasih) system is not so effective, and that is why efforts are being made to improve it with the use of new technologies so that we can get a more accurate data. Efforts are also ongoing to have a new mechanism be used for e-Kasih, but not as the old ones.
“I believe that when we do this, detailed information (of people) in every area in the country, urban and rural, can be collected,” he said in reply to Ahmad Faizal Azumu (Bersatu-Tambun) during Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat sitting.
Faizal had wanted to know whether the government will develop a more realistic and reliable system other than the e-Kasih for the purposes of reference and distribution of aid to deserving groups.
