This study adopted the multidimensional poverty approach as an alternative method of poverty measurement through case study analysis in Song Sarawak, East Malaysia. Using three dimensions of education, health, and living standards, this study found that the Iban community in song is critically deprived in asset indicator and education dimension. However, the community is less deprived in term of health dimension. Therefore, this study proves that additional indicators are necessary to complement the monetary indicator for the poverty measurement. This is important to enhance existing alleviation poverty programmes and provide the necessary assistance for the needy.
