For the less privileged, it is not unusual to portion a food pack out to last the whole day.

Handyman S. Rasengeran, 56, from Johor Baru, is doing just that after finding it particularly tough to get by since Phase One of the National Recovery Plan came into effect.

Senior citizen Tam Mou Lin, 63, who has difficulty walking due to injuries to her right leg, said she was forced to leave her house in Flat Ros Merah to queue for free food to save money. “I previously received some basic food parcels from non-governmental organisations but decided to keep them for future use so I will not starve in case there are no more free meals given out,” she said.

“The recipients are mostly senior citizens. The others comprise the disabled, unemployed and some foreign workers,” she said, adding that the food aid would end on July 31. Liow plans to provide free meals in targeted areas next.
