One way the public can help is by paying the rent for migrant workers and refugees, most of whom stay in low-cost flats.
Non-governmental organisations are seeking donations to provide migrant workers and refugees with food.
Cooking their own food is one way migrant workers save costs.
Most migrant workers share accommodation to save costs.
Most migrants and refugees are daily paid workers and have no source of income following the implementation of the movement control order.
Shyam Priah says the public can go to Yellow House KL’s website to nominate people in need of food aid.
Tengku Emma’s organisation is collecting food to supply at least 100 refugee families.
