A FARMER in Bahau, Negri Sembilan, gave out more than 100kg of brinjals for free to local residents in conjunction with the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations, reported Sin Chew Daily.
The farmer brought the vegetables to a coffee shop on Saturday morning before yelling: “Whoever wants, please take. All is free”.When asked why he was giving them away, the farmer said he was not able to sell brinjals at a good price as they were small this season due to the hot weather.He added that with vegetable prices skyrocketing since last year, he hoped his actions could help lighten the financial burden of the locals.
