PETALING JAYA: The initiative by Health Minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa to address period poverty, the lack of access to menstrual products, has met with mixed reactions.

Although they regarded the move as a noble one, some have called the minister out for not appearing to understand that those in the bottom 40 (B40) income group are the ones in dire need of sanitary napkins.
