This has also been a common topic in the western world, where women would request to get these products subsidised. This program is meant to help those who are living in rural areas or are stricken by poverty.
Netizens did not comment much on Twitter, but those that actually commented about this praised the state of Selangor in implementing this program. An allocated sum of RM200,000 will be set aside for this.
