KUALA SELANGOR: A couple seized the opportunity on the last day of the Central Zone Madani Rakyat programme at the Kuala Selangor Sports Complex to pay their traffic summonses at half the amount.
Civil servant Zohan Ahmad, 58, who was present with his wife Radziah Hasan, 55, took the opportunity to pay six traffic summonses with a 50% discount.
“The paying process is very easy and fast, many counters are available and it was a relief that all summonses have been settled. It just so happened that there was also a cheap sale, so my wife also bought essentials at the same time,” he told Bernama.
Other visitors took advantage of various attractive offers and goods at cheaper prices.
Smallholder Rahman Sahlan, 68, who brought along a trolley, said that he came as early as 9am with his son to buy rice, oil and eggs for his family in Kampung Sungai Tengi Kanan.
“I came with the main purpose of buying rice because the price offered at RM26 was cheap compared with the price offered elsewhere at RM34 so it was worth it, that’s why we brought along a trolley and filled it with essentials for the family.
“Besides, my son also wanted to see the agricultural technology on display here since we also cultivate our vegetable garden,” he said.
Housewife K. Vanitha, 33, from Tanjung Keramat, said she was given a ride by her neighbour to attend the programme so that she could exchange an old helmet which was no longer safe to use.
She also commended the government’s efforts through the Road Transport Department which enabled people who are less able to have new helmets thus ensuring their safety as road users.
The three-day programme which ended yesterday was filled with activities related to agriculture and food security, Technical and Vocational Education and Training, and the well-being of the people, besides various services provided by the Federal Government agencies and the Selangor government in particular.
