SOME 16, 000 residents of the Desa Rejang Public Housing flats in Setapak Jaya, Kuala Lumpur hope that generous Malaysians will step in to provide fresh food for the community as they go under lockdown for the next two weeks.

Residents living in the 12 blocks of flats have been placed under enhanced movement control order from June 18 to July 1, after health authorities confirmed a sharp rise in Covid-19 positive cases there within a short period of time.
