KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 (Bernama) -- Menstrual or period poverty in Malaysia is not at a worrying level with the government providing sanitary napkins to the groups involved, especially to the target groups such as the Orang Asli, B40 and those who cannot afford them.  Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri said the sanitary pads were given to ensure their hygiene during their menstrual cycle. "The ministry helps the B40 group which is our target group. We will continue to help this group so that they are not left behind as we understand that some people use coconut fibre (as sanitary napkins).
