MP Claims 750 Govt-Sponsored Food Packs Meant For Poor Went Undistributed For 2 Weeks

While many of us may be in the comfort of our own homes with a full pantry and can order meals in as and when we wish during the MCO period, it is worth noting that not all of us are able to afford meals. This is especially true of those who may have had their main source of income disrupted as a result of the ‘stay at home’ notice.

Well, despite the fact that the government has tried to take initiative to help those who may not necessarily be able to afford food during this time, Malaysiakini reports that over 750 food packs meant for the poor have apparently been left in a sports complex for two weeks, completely undistributed. The claim comes from DAP chairperson Tan Kok Wai, who spoke to the English daily.

“The sports complex was chosen as the place to keep 2,000 food packs. A thousand for Cheras and 1,000 for Bandar Tun Razak.

“Bandar Tun Razak’s share of the food packs were distributed much earlier, but then the Cheras one, because I’m not a member of the ruling coalition, I was denied my share,” he said.
