SHAH ALAM, June 17 — Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated) or MBI has allocated RM150,000 to help those affected by the extension of the movement control order (MCO) for another two weeks.
Corporate Social Responsibility head Ahmad Azri Zainal Nor said the aid will be in the form of groceries items vouchers worth RM50 and it is expected to benefit 3,000 families.
“Noting that MCO will be continued for another two weeks, we have taken the proactive measure to distribute the vouchers and MBI will work together with KK Mart for this programme,” he told SelangorKini.
Ahmad Azri said that the list of recipients will be distributed by council members as they are more familiar with their respective locations and can help identify those eligible for the initiative.
“We target 50 vouchers for each council member, therefore we would approach 60 council members to distribute it to the locals,” he said.
On June 11, Senior Minister (Defense) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that MCO 3.0 will be extended two more weeks until June 28 as the daily cases of Covid-19 is still high.
