The head of the Community Kitchen at the Batu Muda People’s Housing Project (PPR), Noraizah Yahya, said the group of about 20 women were able to sell 35,000 biscuits and 1,000 hampers. This, she added, was made possible with support by the Community Kitchen project started by NGO Women of Will. One of the participants, Norshuhadah Nasaruddin, said she hopes that the project will be extended to the larger B40 community as well as underprivileged women. “My confidence to earn a sustainable income is much higher now due to the opportunity given to me, compared with many B40 women who don’t have a stable income under the current difficult circumstances, ” she said. Jennifer Aleeya Wong, vice-president of group corporate affairs at Edra, said the power company had been helping underprivileged women the past five years and was committed to continuously supporting B40 women during the pandemic.
