“This situation, where donated food ends up in the bin, has been happening for a few years now, even during pre-Covid times. “I make sure my food is still fresh and will never give away unsold food that has turned bad,” said fried fishball seller Anon Ahmad from Seri Petaling. Aulia Ibrahim, 24, also does not believe in throwing away unsold food. Saifudin Mohd Noor, 33, who sells nasi kerabu, donates unsold food to surau, mosques and passers-by. However, the lockdowns have caused a drop in customers, forcing many traders to give away their unsold food.
