Fresh produce still excluded from Sara aid despite earlier pledge


SUBANG JAYA: While frozen food items have been added to the list of eligible purchases under the second round of the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme, fresh produce has yet to be included in the scheme.

Checks by The Star team at a hypermarket here revealed that recipients could use the Sara aid for selected packaged food, daily necessities and certain frozen items such as roti canai and nuggets, as well as dairy products like butter and yoghurt.
