“…In the Philippines, 7 urban communities are in the City of Valenzuela in Metro Manila and 8 urban and 15 rural communities in Quezon province. While these have been purposefully selected to facilitate access by researchers, we will randomly select adults living within poor households (low-income households qualifying for government subsides under the BR1M programme in Malaysia 17 and the 4P programme in the Philippines 18 ) to obtain a statistically representative sample.…”

IntroductionHypertension is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease. While safe and effective treatment exists, blood pressure control is poor in many countries, often reflecting barriers at the levels of health systems and services as well as at the broader level of patients’ sociocultural contexts. This study examines how these interact to facilitate or hinder hypertension control, taking into account characteristics of service provision components and social contexts.Methods and analysisThe study, set in Malaysia and the Philippines, builds on two systematic reviews of barriers to effective hypertension management. People with hypertension (pre-existing and newly diagnosed) will be identified in poor households in 24–30 communities per country. Quantitative and qualitative methods will be used to examine their experiences of and pathways into seeking and obtaining care. These include two waves of household surveys of 20–25 participants per community 12–18 months apart, microcosting exercises to assess the cost of illness (including costs due to health seeking activities and inability to work (5 per community)), preliminary and follow-up in-depth interviews and digital diaries with hypertensive adults over the course of a year (40 per country, employing an innovative mobile phone technology), focus group discussions with study participants and structured assessments of health facilities (including formal and informal providers).Ethics and disseminationEthical approval has been granted by the Observational Research Ethics Committee at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Research Ethics Boards at the Universiti Putra Malaysia and the University of the Philippines Manila. The project team will disseminate findings and engage with a wide range of stakeholders to promote uptake and impact. Alongside publications in high-impact journals, dissemination activities include a comprehensive stakeholder analysis, engagement with traditional and social media and ‘digital stories’ coproduced with research participants.

“…Likewise, Malaysian federal government adopted an unconditional cash transfer programme as its economic policy in 2012 to address the issue of the higher cost of living in the country and termed it as BR1M (Kamaruddina et al, 2013; Nixon et al, 2017). BR1M is an unconditional cash transfer programme where the recipients of BR1M have the freedom to spend on any goods and services which they deemed a priority.…”

This article models the interconnection between the public transfer payment policy in Malaysia and the overall Malaysian economy using an inter-linkage coordinate space. This space is represented graphically, with the public transfer payment distribution in the centre and the number of periods plotted along rays (axes) that are drawn from the centre, each of which can have as many windows as required at the predetermined perimeter levels. Using this model, this article evaluates whether and how the implementation of public transfer payment policy in Malaysia can simultaneously affect the overall Malaysian economy through selected macroeconomic indicators. Finally, this article proposes the use of computer graphical animation when sufficient data are available to provide a more accurate measurement and visual representation of the economic ripple effect in the same graphical space.

“…Prior researchers suggest that BR1M, KR1M and K1M had unveiled significant impacts in Malaysia. Recent studies by Hafifi (2016), Kamaruddin, et al (2013), Sagran, et al (2014), and Zamzuri Noor, Ali & Baharuddin (2014) had all found that welfare incentives positively influence well-being since people are happy with the welfare incentive as it improves the well-being of the people against the rising cost of living. Collectively, there seems to be some evidence to indicate that when people receive welfare incentives such as BR1M, their consumption of goods and services will also increase leading to a high level of well-being (Kamaruddin, et al, 2013).…”

The well-being of the people can also be influenced by sociodemographics as these will determine their potential standard of living since welfare incentives can also influence the households saving and at the same time improve the over-all welfare programmes (Gustafson, 2013).…”

“…This condition leads to more evidence being required to discover the effectiveness of the welfare incentives at the same time considering socio-demographic determinants towards the level of well-being in Malaysia. As of now, research on the subject has been mostly restricted to limited comparisons of consumption, perception, satisfaction and most of the subjects tend to focus on great scales such as the impact of poverty alleviation, social protection, social policy and social welfare without completely considering the socio-demographic determinants (Kamaruddin, Othman, & Denan, 2013;Nixon, Asada, & Koen, 2017;Siwar, Ahmed, Bashawir & Mia, 2016;Zainudin & Kamarudin, 2015).…”

Malaysia, among other countries around the world investing immense sum of money to improve social welfare systems by offering social safety net for the deserving ones that exposed to global uncertainties due to economic slowdown. As part of the government initiative to boost the well-being, this study focus on BRIM (1Malaysia Peoples’ Aid), KRIM (1Malaysia People’s Grocery Store), BBIM (1Malaysia Book Voucher) and KIM (1Malaysia Clinics) under Government Transformation Programme (GTP). Specifically, the motivation of this study to identify the most effective and preferred welfare incentives as well as the most significant incentives together with socio-demographic determinants using self-rated well-being by employing logistic regression analysis. Findings discov-ered that K1M has the highest mean (4.94) while the most preferred welfare incentives were BR1M (42%). As for logistic regression analysis, the finding shows that BR1M, KR1M and K1M were significant to influence well-being of people. As comparison, the most significant welfare incentive was BR1M as it has the most significant value at p-value 0.004 and the highest odds ratio at 4.689. Overall, these results suggest that people perceived BR1M as instant relief towards high cost of living and can affects their well-being without considering the socio-demographic backgrounds.
