We believe there are many more out there in need of help,\u201d he said after meeting state Welfare Department director Adnan Abu Bakar recently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shanker said its members in all divisions were ready to collect data in their respective divisions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He said families with a household income of RM750 and below should be given help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shanker also said the MIC Youth had proposed to the Welfare Department to increase the allowance for the disabled from RM300 to RM500.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFor those living in Selangor and the Federal Territory, RM300 is too little as the living standard in the cities is higher,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shanker said the MIC was also helping Indian youths by enrolling them at vocational training schools under the Human Resources Ministry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>For details, call Shanker at 012-3836905 or MIC national social bureau head S.
