MELAKA: To ensure compliance to standard operating procedures (SOP), in efforts to fight Covid-19, a group of residents at Kampung Bukit Piatu here has set up a drive-thru ‘station’ to distribute the much-awaited free bubur lambuk (rice porridge) this Ramadan.
Project manager Baharom Sulaiman, 57, said the drive-thru approach was adopted during Ramadan last year when the country was under the Movement Control Order (MCO) to avoid mass gathering.
“The drive-thru station is back again this year but this time, distribution will begin at 2 pm instead of 5 pm to avoid traffic congeston.
“Last year, we only prepared two big pots of bubur lambuk but this year, we have increased it to three as one pot can provide up to 170 packets,” he said when met by reporters here, today.
