PAS vice-president Salahuddin Ayub also told party delegates today
that it was crucial not to confuse the idea of “Negara Berkebajikan”
with the concept of a “welfare state” as practised in the West.
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 — PAS secretary-general Datuk Mustafa Ali said today that the able-bodied jobless will not be put on the dole but will be cared for in other ways under its “Negara Berkebajikan” alternative welfare system.
The opposition party’s president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang had put forward this concept during its assembly in June and said the “Negara Berkebajikan” is an integral part of the Islamist party’s manifesto for the coming 13th general elections, widely believed to be after October to allow the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) government to first present a generous Budget in Parliament.
