‘Don’t give out food during MCO period’


Not the right time: Several people were spotted distributing boxes of food and bottled drinks to vagrants at the Goddess of Mercy Temple in George Town.

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang government has urged non-governmental organisations and Good Samaritans not to give out food directly to the public during the movement control order (MCO) period.

State Welfare and Caring Society Committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said distribution of food aid should be done with discipline and in an organised manner.
