The Prime Minister added that the Sejati MADANI programme will be expanded to involve youth in community income-generating activities, such as vending machine projects or agriculture-related ventures, particularly fertigation systems.
Anwar also mentioned that national leaders and officials are directly addressing issues in villages and schools, with next year’s targets expanding to 500 Kampung Angkat MADANI and 1,500 Sekolah Angkat MADANI, including private sector involvement.
Companies and individuals with business income who contribute to the Kampung Angkat MADANI, Sekolah Angkat MADANI, or Sejahtera MADANI programmes will be eligible for income tax deductions.
