“The programme is a collaboration between MBSA, Pemuda Gema and Universiti Teknologi Mara Shah Alam campus.The latter two organisations provide the volunteers to run the programme, while MBSA handles logistics, transportation and staff support,” he said. “The beneficiaries will be those living close to the bazaar sites, as we cannot transport the food too far for food safety reasons,” he elaborated.
“Wherever MBSA MySaveFood is carried out, there will be high demand for food among the needy,” he said. It was adopted by Pemuda Gema in 2017, with the organisation as main organiser and Malaysian Agricultural Research and Development Institute as advisor. “Our volunteers are working youths who help after work. Most said that they had never seen such a huge amount of food being wasted.
“I thought the programme might not be well received among the traders since this is something new,” said UiTM civil engineering undergraduate Nurul Nabilla Giban. “It has also made me more conscious of how much food I buy. I buy only what I need, or share food with friends if I have extra,” she said.
