Econsave, an organization in Kangkar Pulai, organised a Deepavali assistance initiative yesterday, which benefitted 30 recipients. Among them were single mother P. Pushpam, 53, and V. Devi, 70. Pushpam plans to purchase new clothes for her three grandchildren, while Devi expressed her gratitude for the unexpected aid during the festive season. The vouchers, in the sum of RM100 each, contributed to a total amount of RM3,000.",
