Kuala Lumpur hard-hit by urban poverty, Unicef reports

LOW-INCOME households in Kuala Lumpur are struggling harder to make ends meet now than during the Covid-19 pandemic, a Unicef report said.

The “Key Findings Living on the Edge” report, which was released earlier this week, said eight in 10 families struggle to meet their basic needs. That is one family more than the seven in 10 during the pandemic.
