JOHOR BARU: Just like locals, foreigners are also in a bind since the movement control order (MCO) was imposed starting from March 18 but thanks to some Good Samaritans and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) giving them some food aid, their plight has been eased.

While some foreigners working in essential services sector were able to continue earning, others lost their source of income and faced difficulties in even buying food.
