SIBU, July 4: Residents in Sibu Parliamentary constituency who are in need of food aid may start registering now.

However those from outside the Sibu Parliamentary constituency but are residing and working here are also eligible to register for the food aid.
“Applicants from other districts outside Sibu but working and staying here, are also eligible to apply, but they need to specify their living address in Sibu, in order for us to deliver the food aid,” he said.
