Food aid for Tawau recipients distributed in stages
TAWAU: Food packages are being distributed to families in need in stages here under the Movement Control Order (MCO), said Tawau member of parliament Datuk Christina Liew.
She said her Tawau Parliamentary People’s Service Centre was working
closely with the Apas Community Development Leader Unit (Apas UPPM) to get the distribution exercise started on Tuesday.
“Please be patient. Although we have closed the Tawau Parliamentary
People’s Service Centre temporarily in view of the Movement Control Order (MCO), my official representatives - the Tawau Parliamentary Chief Liaison Officer (Fung Thin Yein), Liaison Officer (Robert Penggai), Community Development Officer (Samuel Fung) and their team - are on the ground sending face masks and foodstuff to those in need.
“I have been advised by the authorities against travelling to Tawau in line with the MCO which calls for restricted interdistrict travel,” she said in a statement Wednesday.
Liew, who is also Deputy Chief Minister, urged the people of Tawau to keep calm and follow the guidelines in the MCO which has been extended to April 14.
“Do not compromise on your health and that of your family. Do not come out of your house unnecessarily. Stay home to avoid the risk of
getting infected by Covid19. And please practise good personal hygiene,” she advised. Should the public here need assistance, please call Mr Fung at
013-8844700 or Mr Robert at 6011-33807901.
