Rasah MP urges probe into distribution of food baskets to B40 group


SEREMBAN: The Prime Minister should immediately ask for a probe into the distribution of food baskets for those in the B40 group affected by the Covid-19 outbreak to ensure there was no abuse, says Rasah MP Cha Kee Chin (pic).

He said although the Finance Ministry had issued a circular dated March 27 clearly outlining guidelines on how the aid should be distributed, his office only received 150 packs on April 21 to be distributed to his constituents.
