The programme, organised by Misi Rakyat, will next be held in Kedah on Tuesday.

These early birds were able to buy 5kg of imported rice for just RM1 during a programme organised by an NGO in Lumut today.

Siti Nordiana Kassim, 25, from Taman Samudera, said she learned about the programme from social media through her neighbour yesterday.“My neighbour and I came here early because we did not want to miss out on buying it,” she told reporters. “This programme should be held more often because the price of rice has suddenly gone up. So, it helps reduce our expenses,” she said.

The inaugural programme, organised by Misi Rakyat, an NGO, provided 1,000 bags of rice and distributed an additional 120 bags for free to selected recipients, including the underprivileged, senior citizens and pregnant women.
