MALAYSIA Retail Chain Association (MRCA) and Direct Selling Association of Malaysia (DSAM) have joined hands to raise emergency funds to purchase essential food supplies for those in desperate need as a result of disruptions stemming from movement control orders.

The aim is to raise RM500,000 and on July 3, the associations began their distribution of food boxes to more than 10,000 families within the Klang Valley and adjacent vicinities.
