PETALING JAYA: Getting by was a sheer struggle for wheelchair-bound Yee Pen Yeng (

“It was not much as I would only be called to work when my help was needed,” said the 57-year-old polio victim.
She lost her only source of income when the florist shop folded in August due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Yee, who was diagnosed with the disease at three, is living on a meagre RM300 welfare aid.

Giving back: Clini showing support for needy Malaysians through food aid initiative.
PETALING JAYA: Gift-giving is a practice that is very much a part of Chinese New Year as a way to convey good wishes in the coming year.
Amid current trying times, Carlsberg Malaysia is partnering with Star Foundation and MyKasih Foundation to support 400 needy families nationwide via the “Celebrate Prosperity, Cheers For Tomorrow” food aid initiative.
Under this initiative, Carlsberg and Star Foundation will channel RM200,000 to MyKasih Foundation which will distribute RM500 each to these families in time for the Chinese New Year celebration.
This programme is part of Carlsberg’s RM1mil pledge with five media organisations to reach out to Malaysians nationwide.
