PADAWAN: Response to the Rahmah Sale programme at PPR Landeh was overwhelmingly positive, with approximately 10,000 residents from the surrounding area queuing up to seize the opportunity.
Batu Kitang assemblyman Lo Khere Chiang said this was the fourth of such programme held in his constituency.
He assured that he would continue to extend this initiative to all areas so that it could benefit all needy groups from various ethnic backgrounds.
“People in need often lack transportation to buy essentials. Bringing the supermarket here makes it more accessible for them, and the prices offered are very affordable.
“I hope to expand this programme further. I will visit various locations across the Batu Kitang constituency, serving Malay, Chinese, Iban, Bidayuh, and other communities, all of whom include the B40 group.
“This programme aims to assist them,” he told reporters during the event at PPR Landeh Community Hall today.
The Rahmah Sale began at 8 am and ended at 1 pm, offering discounted prices on essentials like eggs, cooking oil, milk, and more, supplied by Central Coldstorage Kuching Sdn Bhd.
Lo stressed that the programme, organised by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN), cannot be held consecutively in his area alone.
However, he assured that he would communicate with the ministry to extend the programme to cover his entire jurisdiction.
He hoped it would continue to support people, especially those in the B40 group.
