Mitra to revive RM100,000 targeted aid scheme this year, says Ramanan

The Star

The Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra) will revive its RM100,000 targeted aid programme this year, focusing on districts with the highest Indian population, says Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan.  Ramanan, who is also the government spokesman for the Indian community, said during Minister’s Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Feb 5) that the scheme, initially planned for 2024, was deferred as Mitra prioritised other initiatives, including assistance for houses of worship, school maintenance, kindergartens, public facilities and estate workers.  He also assured that placing Mitra under the Human Resources Ministry following a Cabinet decision on Jan 14 would not dilute its mandate, stressing that its core focus on the socio-economic development of the Indian community remains unchanged.

00:00Sya Alam also has a community of India that is around 12%.

00:05And in 2003, Mitra had been involved with the parliament, the government, the government, and the economy for the economy of India.

00:17But in 2004, we did not receive feedback.

00:22In 2005, so what are the plans for Mitra, the government, the government, to continue the participation of the government, and the leaders of the community that may be pointed out because we know better about the development and the needs of the community in our parliament.

00:46Mr. Bahumat Menteri.

00:48Thank you for the additional question from Yang Bahumat Shahalam.

00:52Dato Yanni Pertua, sebelum ini pada tahun 2023, memang program yang dirancangkan adalah sebanyak 100,000 diberikan kepada parlimen-parlimen yang merangkumi kepadatan penduduk India yang paling besar.

01:08Dia bukan mengikut parlimen tetapi mengikut daerah-daerah yang mempunyai kepadatan masyarakat India.

01:15Tempatan, buat 2024, kadang-kadang kita mereka banyak lagi program yang berlainan.

01:23Contohnya, kalau 2024 kita lihat kita ada program pemeriksaan rumah ibadat, kita ada program bantuan untuk sekolah-sekolah penyelenggaran, pembaikan kecil.

01:37Juga untuk pekerja-pekerja perladang yang diberikan bantuan bagi kepadatan isi rumah.

01:44Juga program-program peranti mahasiswa, program-program tadika dan juga kemudahan awam dan keselamatan kampung India.

01:53Jadi, perikaan program-program ini berdasarkan untuk memberikan ruang kepada semua lapisan masyarakat India menerima bantuan daripada program-program yang dilaksanakan di Mitra.

02:07Tetapi, saya boleh bagi jaminan kepada yang berhormat syalam, tahun ini kita akan pastikan kita buat balik program yang sama

02:14untuk memberikan sedikit peruntukan, tambahan secara sasar.

02:21Sebab memang ahli parlimen tahu lebih banyak daripada yang kita duduk di Mitra.

02:27Sebab di kawasan mereka sendiri, mereka tahu di mana betul-betul masyarakat India yang memerlukan bantuan tersebut.

02:35Jadi, bagi tahun ini memang kita akan bekalkan.

02:38Terima kasih yang berhormat.

02:39Terima kasih Datuk Yang Betul.

02:44Terima kasih.
