Abstract
Poverty Knowledge is an approach that is used to understand the root causes
of poverty, much precisely from the perspective of the poor, which stands for those
with lack of education, lack of income and lack of property ownership. Unknowingly,
the poor have created a culture of poverty in response to their poverty. Culture of
poverty is a state of a lifestyle correlated with negative attitudes such as laziness,
lack of motivation, lack of confidence, easy to give up and surrender to fate, which
causes a person or community to keep on living in poverty. The Malay community is
associated with those who have negative attitudes, which lead to poverty. In
Malaysia, the Malay had the highest percentage of poverty than other races. From
1970 to date, the percentage of poverty among the Malay had stated 0.8 percent
compared to the Chinese and Indian, respectively 0.1 percent and 0.6 percent.
Shiftless or laziness is the attitude that considered as the cause of the Malay living in
poverty. The objectives of this study are i) to explore the causes of poverty in the
Malay community in Mukim Sri Medan, ii) to determine the opportunities available
around Mukim Sri Medan which could be benefited by the poor and iii) to analyze
the main factor that creates poverty from their perspectives. A questionnaire survey
was conducted on 313 poor Malay head of households, which were obtained through
Mukim Sri Medan’s e-Kasih system. From this, 30 respondents were selected for the
in-depth interview session.
