WITH three mouths to feed and bills to pay, R. Megala had no choice but to hoist a white flag outside her house in Klebang, Ipoh. In fact, it was an employer who told her about the white flag campaign, she said, adding that help from the council came just four days after she put up an old towel as a white flag. The city council responded by donating items to her under the “MBI Prihatin” (MBI Cares) programme, which has seen it collaborating with supermarket chain Econsave. He added that this was the third time MBI had come forward to help those who raised a white flag. As the money she earns as a cleaner is not enough, Megala is looking for more work or households that required her services.
