HOW CHEAP! MUHYIDDIN & CO ‘STEAL’ AGAIN – SIPHON OUT FOOD FROM PACKS MEANT FOR THE NEEDY?! RM100 FOOD HAMPERS ANNOUNCED WITH A BIG BANG – BUT COME WORTH WORTH ONLY RM35! PAKATAN DEMANDS EXPLANATION, ACCOUNTABILITY

According to Fahmi, there are two types of food aid – 1,000 packs from the Finance Ministry worth RM100 for all MPs in the country and 1,000 packs from the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma).

Petaling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah said she received 137 food packets worth RM50, which she believed werer from Nadma.

She said the government could be clearer and avoid all complications if it listed the items in the RM50 and RM100 food packs.

Rina, as the minister in charge, not Ismail, who is also the defence minister, should also be the minister explaining about the items distributed, Maria said.

“It is not very transparent at the moment. They have to give a report on how many RM50 and RM100 food packs have been given out  .

“The answers should be from the minister in charge (Rina). She should answer and explain what is inside the RM50 pack and what is inside the RM100 pack, not the defence minister.”

Batu MP P. Prabakaran said he received 131 packs from the Welfare Department but wasn’t sure which category they fell under.

He said the items in each pack might be worth less than RM35.

Each pack contains a 5kg bag of rice, tea, Maggi noodles, sugar, flour and a can of sardine.

“So far I’ve received this and it has been distributed. Not sure when I will receive the balance and wonder why they can’t just distribute the 1,000 packs in a single trip,” he said.

Jelutong MP R.S.N. Rayer said he didn’t check the food aid given and doesn’t know the exact worth of it.

His constituency received 500 packs and these were distributed as soon as he received them.

Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching said she received 600 packs from the Welfare Department and did not encounter any problem.

The Kulai packs are worth RM100 each.

A Chinese daily quoted Rasah MP Cha Kee Chin as saying the retail price of all items in the food packs given in his constituency was only RM35, not RM100.

Cha said despite applying for 950 food packs, he only received 150, even though his constituency is entitled to 1,000 packs in an updated list.

PH lawmakers are forced to find alternative funding to help needy families in their constituencies.

Ipoh Barat MP M. Kula Segaran said food packs in his constituency were handed to Umno, PAS and Bersatu representatives.

The food also failed to reach the intended recipients, the needy households, he said.

“The fact that these parties do not electorally represent the Ipoh Barat constituency is a secondary matter.

“More importantly, we ask why such an important aid did not reach the most vulnerable,” the former human resources minister said in a statement.

As at yesterday, the number of Covid-19 cases stands at 5,780 while the death toll remains at 98.
