Kuantan: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has extended cash assistance to a fisherman’s family in Pahang to ease their burden amid limited income. The contribution was handed over by the Prime Minister’s Political Secretary, Datuk Ahmad Farhan Fauzi, to Saluna Mat Jusoh during a visit to her home in Kampung Cherating, Kuantan, as part of the Ziarah MADANI initiative.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the income of Saluna’s husband, Encik Hasim, as a fisherman is only around RM1,000 per month, and he also faces unfavourable weather conditions that prevent him from going out to sea. Additionally, officers from the MADANI Community Centre in Indera Mahkota reported the poor condition of their house, which has a leaking roof, rotting walls, and a deteriorating kitchen, making it uncomfortable for the family.

Ahmad Farhan, in a Facebook post shared by the Prime Minister, stated, “Thus, I came to offer hope so that Puan Saluna’s house can be repaired, making it more comfortable and safe for her family.” He expressed hope that the assistance would provide some relief to the family, emphasizing that in a MADANI nation, every citizen has the right to live in comfort and dignity.
