Beyond income or consumption levels, poverty is a complex problem. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), poverty is living on less than US$1.90 a day, or the equivalent of RM 7.95.
The concept of "multidimensional poverty" recognizes poverty as a complex issue beyond financial or economic metrics. Accordingly, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim asserts that the Madani administration is dedicated to addressing severe poverty, infrastructure development, and essential utilities.
