The machines are stocked with non-perishable food, medicine and personal hygiene items.
Bandar Utama assemblyman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said vending machines utilised less manpower while providing 24-hour access to essential items.
An ewallet will be set up for eligible residents, with RM100 credited each month into their accounts.Jamaliah said unused credit would be transferred to other recipients after 30 days. The total allocation of RM30,000 for the food aid programme came from the assemblyman’s office under a three-month pilot project.
The project is a collaboration with Allegra Technologies Sdn Bhd, a social enterprise that had previously installed similar vending machines in Kuala Lumpur to serve B40 communities.
