In just three simple steps, Desa Mentari residents can buy non-perishable items and daily necessities from vending machines stationed at their flats in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung, who launched the artificial intelligence (AI) cashless vending machines at Block 5 of the flats, said the machines were a step to digitalise certain processes for the B40 group.
