INTRODUCTION 

    This thesis is about under-resourced communities, which means relatively heavily populated areas of high-poverty and low-income located in the smallest metropolitan areas. These communities may be located in either traditional central cities or suburbs such as in rural and inland areas in Kuala Lumpur. Poor living conditions negatively affect physical and mental health, in addition, they can contribute to the spread of disease, which is caused by expensive health care costs, as well as prevent individuals from working and threaten the well-being of community members. 

BODY PARAGRAPH. 

The government must take action toward this problem by providing finance and assistance to them mentally, physically, and spiritually. For example, give them free health care so that they are free from disease outbreaks and allow them to contribute more to the economy. If they are left untreated, they may be infected by an unknown disease and it will trouble us if it spreads all over the country. On Dec. 10, 1948, the United States and 47 other nations signed the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The document showed that “everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of oneself and one’s family, including medical care”. On the other hand, providing finance is important to buy the necessary things for their family even in small amounts. These two sources are highly valued by them because it involves their living conditions.  

    Next, society must help and take care of them in all situations. Society plays a very important role as they are surrounded by those in need and affected by their views toward them. Donating funds and time, and finding volunteer opportunities is one of the most straightforward ways to help fight poverty in the community is to donate funds to organisations whose mission is to end these economic disparities. As these donations add up, they can put the funds towards fixing housing inequalities, education gaps, food insecurities, and more. The practice of boycotting people is an act that does not give humanity and concern to society. 

CONCLUSION. 

    In conclusion, most people who lack these resources are in the middle of developed urban areas. Those areas were inhabited by poor communities and their existence has been discriminated against by those who look at them with disgust and filth. Therefore, the government and society must take actions and responsibilities towards them to prevent any possibilities or undesirable things happening in Malaysian society.
