POLICIES on poverty eradication should be based on a specific focus and reflect realities on the ground, said former United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights Philip Alston.

Alston, who wrote a report for the UN about Malaysia’s poverty from an 11-day visit here last year, said he observed that Putrajaya’s policies were general, rather than targeted. – July 7, 2020.
