PETALING JAYA: The Orang Asli community has suggested that the RM10mil allocation for food baskets under Pemulih be given in the form of either food vouchers or cash instead.

Peninsular Malaysia Orang Asli Villages Network representative Rizuan Tempek said in the past, such food baskets contained more or less the same items such as rice, sugar, tea, coffee and cans or sardine.
