This is a hidden side was not to be ignored but which has been paid lip service over the years. While the politician were busy politicking, backstabbing and what not, nothing in the way of policy or direction has the nation attempted to address this. It was left to non-profit and NGO in the past to provide some very basic necessity to the homeless and those in severe need of assistance. The only preoccupation of the super rich is to further entrench themselves in the system for purely selfish intents. Their intent was to keep the less well off segment of the society under constant stress is a well known attempt to keep them extremely busy as it is easier to control when the latter is wholly preoccupied just keeping their heads above water. I don't expect any political party in Malaysia will do anything to champion the plight of these people nor attempt to change the cause of their lifes. Hindraf as an NGO might come close in the past, but the politicians culled it when it support became dangerously close to usurping their limelight.
