He claimed that none of the purported 1,000 food baskets promised by Rina’s ministry reached any of the 1,500 families within the lower income group who pleaded for help within his constituency.“Sadly, with limited financial resources and manpower which can only come from the federal government and Rina’s ministry, there are many families and their children who are going to bed hungry every night during this extraordinary time,” Kulasegaran said in a statement today.
“With bigger urban constituency such as Ipoh Barat which has nearly about 200,000 people, my team and I do not have the financial strength to reach out to all within the B40 community which a responsible federal government should take upon themselves.
