Thus, Pakatan Harapan Government promises to reduce the number of

foreign workers from 6 million to 4 million in the first term of our

administration.

Incentive packages for small and medium sized companies will be increased

as well as for those living in villages and in FELDA schemes throughout the

country.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will also assist the Islamic Religious

Councils and the Islamic Religious Departments to channel the aid of zakat

and charity to the less fortunate more effectively, efficiently and

quickly. Information on household income and the needs of the poorest will

be shared with the state government and local authorities, without

overriding the state's power and jurisdiction over religious affairs.

A special agency will be established to take over BR1M management and

introduce a structured cash transfer scheme. This scheme will be free from

the influence or interference of political parties and politicians.

The agency will take immediate action to study the welfare benefits

mechanism in developed countries and introduce appropriate schemes

using local resources and Malaysia's capabilities, as well as encourage the

private sector and charitable organisations to contribute.

The Pakatan Harapan Government will also enhance the involvement of

welfare charities and social enterprises to assist those in need. Assistance

will be provided to approved bodies.
