THE Malaysian Indian Transformation Unit (Mitra) has announced that RM39 mil will be allocated to assist the B40 Indians this year. This essentially means financially assisting undergraduate students, assisting Tamil kindergartens in Tamil schools and assisting kidney patients by subsidising the costs of dialysis. I am glad that Mitra has taken on the role of focusing on target groups rather than providing funds for the NGOs. It is not that some well-deserving NGOs should not be assisted, but the bulk of the RM100 mil budget should go to the poor and underprivileged target groups in the B40 category.
