The first phase of the free breakfast programme will be implemented on January 20th at 100 primary schools nationwide.

The Education Ministry says the PSP will use the Grab ‘n’ Go concept, which will feature nutritious dairy products, drinks and snacks.

The selection of schools for the first phase was made based on schools with the highest percentage of students from the B40 group.

The Penang Consumer Association wants the government to amend laws to impose heavy punishments on offenders, who pollute the environment.

It says the act of polluting the environment and water supply is the same as the crime of poisoning residents and causing inconvenience to the people.

This come just days after over 1.5 million users in the Klang Valley experienced a water supply disruption due to an odour pollution that caused the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant to be shut down.
