DESPITE their limited resources, women from the B40 community are among the many Malaysians who have stepped up to help fight Covid-19.

Eleven women from the Petaling Jaya City Council’s (MBPJ) Urban Poverty Eradication Programme (PPKB) are using their sewing skills to make personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical frontliners.
