The “Smile Pack” is very easy to prepare, only submerge the pack in hot water for a few minutes and it is ready.The Smile Pack is a one set meal consists of white basmathi rice, beef curry or chicken curry which is made ready-to-eat (RTE). This innovative food pack has a 2-year shelf life and has no preservatives. It uses a German-technology; retort sterilization, to kill germs. On a positive note, this food pack can help increase mobility for staffs and students to get food sources which is cleaner and can last longer than other food items.
Klang Hospital’s Chief of Public Relation, Madam Fatin said,“A help like this is very good and should be continued. In fact, it really benefits on duty personnel equipped with PPE to enjoy a meal according to their own flexible free time. They can also focus on the security personnels which are also involved in the COVID19 Pandemic prevention operation.”
In the nearest future, we are going to distribute masks to those who are not able to afford and not to forget the front liners of Covid 19. Besides that, this fund will also be able to cover the cleaning of premises, prayer areas, mosques and also schools that were affected.
