Malaysia's Women, Family and Community Development Minister, Nancy Shukri, has announced that Sarawak and Penang will receive greater attention in the government's fertility initiatives aimed at increasing the country's low birth rate. Speaking after launching the Program Perantisan Kepimpinan Wanita (Perantis) — Program Pembinaan Kepimpinan dan Keusahawanan Wanita Dayak (Pendaya) 2.0 initiative, Nancy stated that the ministry plans to place greater emphasis on fertility-related programs next year, with a focus on supporting couples facing difficulties conceiving.
Sarawak and Penang have been identified as states needing increased focus due to their low birth rates, and the ministry intends to strengthen existing programs such as in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) under the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN).
