Kuala Lumpur: The government must immediately step in to help the residents of Pasir Gudang, Johor, who are lacking in daily necessities, says its MP, Hassan Abdul Karim.
He called on the domestic trade and cost of living ministry to either help through the Jualan Rahmah initiative or send food supplies to the area.
“The people are angry. There is no local rice, cooking oil, sugar or eggs.
“The people hope for government help. They have never experienced a disruption in basic food supplies such as what they are experiencing now,” he said in a Facebook post today.
