THE state government is on track to eradicate hardcore poverty in the state before its new deadline, March 8 next year.
State Health, Welfare and Caring Society Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said the 324 families under this category statewide would soon be given a new lease of life.

“Under Budget 2009, the Federal Government said it would increase its monthly allowances for hardcore poor families from RM400 to RM720.
“The state too will increase its allowances for the families, from the current RM660 to an amount that is higher than the federal allocation,” he said.
