After receiving their duit raya and packets of rice and milk, Tang, Soong and Lim joined the people for dinner. Tang said Selayang MCA has been organising events like this every year especially during the festive period.

“Besides this, we also help the people by providing welfare aid up to RM500 for poor families with household income of less than RM3,000 monthly.”
