KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyer and human rights activist Ambiga Sreenevasan has accused certain quarters holding the reins of power in Malaysia, of deliberately keeping people in poverty to make them believe they are dependent on those ruling over them.
“When you are poor you are very susceptible to fear, and those in power can easily keep their grasp on power by telling you that you are dependent on them by giving you the occasional handout,” she said.
