The pregnant mother of a two-year-old child has no money, what more the strength, to soldier on when the baby arrives in September. But thanks to a project called “Mother’s Milk for Underprivileged Babies”, Putri will be able to secure RM100 a month for three months to focus on breastfeeding her baby. A graduate of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, Putri is not working as she had depended on her late husband for financial support. Another pregnant mother in the Sri Pantai low-cost flats said not many in her housing area get pro­per confinement care after delivery. Another project candidate, a se­­ven months pregnant mo­­ther, said she was happy as the few hundred ringgit would make a lot of dif­ference when she gives birth.
