GEORGE TOWN: People went with reusable bags to each collect seven free items, from pastries like tau sar pneah and heong pneah to white coffee and nutmeg balm. It was, and the giver wanted to celebrate the zero-rated goods and services tax (GST) and a new state government. The message said 509 sets of the free goodies (to mark the polling day of May 9) would be given out between 5pm to 6pm at a shop in Burmah Road on Saturday. Kindergarten teacher Ooi Chin Chin, 44, said she knew about the giveaway from her cousin, who received the message from friends. The three collected the goodies and placed it in their own bag upon receiving the items.
