Signs of desperate times as elderly queue for food aid

It is common to see people lining up for food supplies from NGOs in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur.

A FAMILY of five from Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, travels every morning at 10am to Pudu.

They park their old beaten-up car, walk to a coffeeshop near Kompleks Ruby, pick a spot and sit and wait.
