Based on the studies that have been conducted in Malaysia, they only take about 44 years to reach 1% incidence of poverty in 2014. While in 1970, the incidence of poverty was 49.3%. Malaysian government’s efforts to eradicate poverty of its people can be seen when the government attempted through the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) through the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) becomes as the main driver.
