The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs has teamed up with oil companies to help those in need, especially in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Community Food Box is a space provided for dry goods such as rice, flour, sugar, cooking oil, eggs, condensed milk and sardine that can be taken for free by those in need, while the Community Goods Corner sells basic food items at lower than market prices. “We are working with Petronas to create a fresh goods corner, where members of the community can purchase items to cook food with a budget of only RM20 to 30, so this will reduce costs,“ he said.
