KUCHING: Democratic Action Party (DAP) Bandar Kuching and Stampin service centres will be registering the names and contacts of families who are in need of essential food items supply during this Movement Control Order (MCO).

DAP Sarawak chairman Chong Chieng Jen said that the party initially intended to send food supply to families in need but the government has forbidden all non-governmental organisations to deliver food supplies to individual households.

“As such, we will forward all the names and contacts collected to the Welfare Department for the latter to supply essential food items to the families,” said Chong in a statement.

Though the Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had stressed nobody will be left out of the economic stimulus package, Chong believes many are still left out when it comes to the package’s implementation, before taking into account the possibility of delay in the implementation as well.

For instance, Chong said despite the cash hand-outs to B40 families were intended to be given out in April, the exact mechanism for the rolling out of the plan has yet to be made known.

To some families, he said the immediate challenge was putting food on the table, especially so for daily-paid workers who have little or no savings.

“The first 14 days of MCO is definitely tough on them, but the second 14-day MCO period will be a disaster,” he said.

As such, Chong said DAP Bandar Kuching and Stampin service centres will assist in collecting names of those in urgent need of food supply and forward them to the relevant government agencies.

“We will also do the follow-up to ensure that these families do receive the food items from the relevant government agencies,” said Chong.
