This study aims to evaluate the database system of record of Malaysia’s poor households, known as e-Kasih. Content analysis was performed on 100 participants selected from 11,963 participants. Interviews were conducted with these participants to check the accuracy of data recorded in the e-Kasih system. Interviews were also held with the Distribution Section, Economic Planning Unit and Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU), Welfare Division of the Prime Minister’s Department. This study found that some names of the participants have been repeated many times in the system. In addition, the current monitoring system did not use poverty line income. The results of the interview also found that information recorded are not accurate. On the whole, the e-Kasih system has a good potential to help the poverty groups escape from poverty. The system can also avoid the dumping of aid provided by various agencies on a specific participant at the same time.
