JITRA – Residents in 28 sub-districts of the Kota Setar district who have run out of food following the implementation of the enhanced movement control order can obtain supplies for free at the Alor Star Mini Food Bank at Tandop, Alor Star.
Its chairman Amirul Syahir Musa said some people may have depleted their food supplies as house-to-house food delivery services were temporarily stopped due to safety concerns.
“We will replenish our food supplies to ensure all affected residents obtain food during the EMCO period,” he said here today.
Amirul said only one person per family is allowed to collect food supplies and should apply earlier as well as make prior appointments by contacting 011-36613036 to prevent crowding.
He said apart from utilising personal funds to purchase food stocks, the food bank also received contributions from the corporate sector and the public.
“Parties wishing to contribute to the mini food bank can contact me at 016-3353677,” he added.
On Monday, Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that the 28 sub-districts would come under EMCO from May 19 to June 1. – Bernama, May 23, 2021
