Since the start of the second movement control order (MCO), Shah Alam, Selangor-based restaurateur Sri Ganesh A. Selvacumarasamy has been buying dry food items frequently from his neighbourhood hypermarket.

But he isn’t purchasing provisions for his restaurant or for himself. Instead, the co-founder of non-profit charity organisation Spoonful of Hope (SH) is buying groceries for underprivileged families at a number of People’s Housing Project (PPR) flats in the Klang Valley.
