  "account": "Nancy Shukri stated that the decision for young people to marry and have children is influenced by several factors, one of which is having a single child. The Minister of Women, Family and Community Development emphasized that young people are now more cautious and plan economically before getting married and starting a family. She noted that some individuals choose not to have children due to economic unpreparedness and cannot be blamed for not being ready. The government provides comprehensive preparation for future partners through programs like SmartStart, including economic and financial management, as well as assistance for couples facing fertility issues through programs such as In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). Additionally, the government is attentive to marital harmony post-marriage through various programs, including the Second Sweet Month approach for couples within five years of marriage. This approach aims to help couples reconnect and strengthen their marital bonds, as it is not necessarily about having a second wedding but about activities that aid couples in returning to each other and reinforcing their family relationships. When discussing efforts to reach out to those in need, Shukri stated that the government believes in reaching out to many people in need on the ground to introduce welfare services offered under the ministry through programs like the Warm Heart Program.",
