“I will bring to the nursery and baking some cakes for the children,” said the mother of five children from Kangkar Baru.
Dr Wee said a total of 68 farmers, single mother and housewives received various goods under the Government’s allocation.
The goods amounting to RM100,000 included fertilizers, pesticides, ovens, mowers and other equipment for agriculture.
Dr Wee urged all recipients to make full use of the goods and equipment given to them.
“The Government always tries to help those in need.
“Do not sell the goods and equipment as it is not right to do that,” he advised.
Another recipient Shahari Othman, 61, Kampung Parit Hamidvillage security and development committee chairman, thanked the Government for a mower and a tree trimmer which would be utilised for the village.
“We have to loan the equipment from villagers every time we have a gotong-royong.
“Now, we don’t have to trouble others when we have such activities,”he said.
Shahari said his village was surrounded by plantations, and villagers needed to carry out gotong-royong from time to time to ensure roads and surrounding areas were clear from overgrown weeds.
