Several shop owners and residents in Subang Jaya have set up food banks to help anyone who’s struggling financially during the Movement Control Order (MCO)
On 15 June, Subang Jaya assemblywoman Michelle Ng tweeted photos of tables with food items for the community.
She wrote that it’s an initiative by Subang shop owners and Subangites to help those who are finding it hard to make ends meet.
“Take what you need, give what you can,” she added.
