KUCHING: It was a busy weekend for Kuching South City Council (MBKS) mayor Datuk Wee Hong Seng as he and his councillors have been distributing face masks at markets and hawker centres under the council’s jurisdiction.
Among the markets Wee visited last Saturday were Kenyalang Market, Stutong Market, Hui Sing Hawker Centre, Pending Seafood Centre and Batu Lintang Hawker Centre.
“The masks are sponsored by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and individuals, so we helped to distribute the masks,” he told New Sarawak Tribune on Sunday.
He said thus far MBKS has distributed over 3,000 masks to traders and visitors.
“At the same time, we also reminded them on complying with the standard operating procedure (SOP).
“We will be going to more places to help to distribute the face masks next week,” he said.
