KUCHING: Sarawak will work with the army and Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) to distribute food to remote areas during the movement control order (MCO), says Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.

The Deputy Chief Minister, who heads a newly-formed sub-committee on food supply, said the assistance of these agencies was vital as they could use helicopters to reach areas not easily accessible by road.
