LANGKAWI: At 71, Serian Said makes a monthly journey across a narrow strait to buy essential supplies with the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) that she receives. There are no shops registered for Sara credit so the 15-minute ferry ride to Kuah Town is a necessity.

“The trip is quite tiring, but I’m happy I’m able to buy what I need with this assistance,” she told Bernama at a supermarket here.
