New programme to help Malay-Muslim families

Some 40 to 50 needy Malay-Muslim families in the North-east district will receive attention from a dedicated team, which will ensure all available assistance is given to these households.

The enhanced Wrap Around Care (eWAC) programme, launched yesterday by Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Yaacob Ibrahim, intends to help these families progress to a "healthy functioning" state - where children complete at least 10 years of education, parents are employed, and the per capital income of the household is more than S$450 per month.
