announced a revision of the national Poverty Line Income (PLI) from RM980 to RM2,208. However, the PLI does not take into account the cost of living beyond a very basic budget.
It does not take into consideration expenditures like childcare, leisure, and social activities that not only draw from a household's income but are also

hardships associated with balancing employment and other aspects of
everyday life. |
