PORT DICKSON: The Madani Rahmah Sales Programme held in conjunction with 'Ukhuwah Kepimpinan Kerajaan Madani' programme in Port Dickson today distributed 2,500 free chickens to lucky visitors.

The programme organised by the Malaysian Nationhood Academy in collaboration with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry distributed free chickens at two different locations, namely 500 at Batu 1 while the rest were at Dataran Kampung Pachitan.

Checks at the Batu 1 here showed that people started coming to the PJRM around 8 am and were seen increasing by midday today to get essential goods at lower prices than the market.

Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun also distributed free chickens to lucky visitors at Batu 1, besides being enlivened by the presence of Madani government MPs and cabinet ministers to greet the people.

Visitor, Nurul Nabila Salleh, 36, said she was really looking forward to the programme because the prices were very cheap compared to the market price.

"The goods are sold very cheap compared to other supermarkets, if possible, it can be held every week or at least every end of the month so that the people can buy at a cheaper price," she said.

Former headmaster, A. Damutaran, 68 who agreed with the view said the purchase not only saves money, but also allows buyers to get complete kitchen needs in one place.

"There are onions, eggs, chicken, sardines, coconut milk, all sold at cheaper prices than other places, so we don't have to go anywhere else, we just buy in one place," he said.
