Indian voters want better welfare aid for elderly, jobs for youth

MELAKA: Unmet welfare needs among the elderly and a lack of job opportunities for young people are among the pressing concerns Indian voters want the next Gadek assemblyman to address.

Speaking at SJKT Pulau Sebang yesterday, voters called for better community assistance, employment prospects and improvements to local facilities, with some also expressing confidence in MIC’s grassroots presence.

Self-employed Jaya Swamidurai, 50, said some elderly residents were still being left out of welfare assistance despite needing support.
