GEORGE TOWN: Taiwan Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation founder Dharma Master Cheng Yan has donated RM350,000 worth of vegetarian instant rice to the flood victims. Buddhist Tzu Chi Merits Society Malaysia Commissioner Khoo Boo Leong said 120,000 packets of the rice reached Penang yesterday before they were transported to Kota Baru.
The instant rice is easy to cook, even with cold drinking water. “It will turn out like normal rice after 45 minutes,” he said at the Penang International Airport cargo terminal yesterday.
