Members of the public can help by nominating a deserving individual or charity within the Klang Valley to receive the sponsored meals. The recipient may be personally affected by the Movement Control Order, or perhaps a frontliner who would appreciate a cooked meal for family members, or even a friend who's facing a tough time and needs a hand.
Nominations for recipients are open from now until the end of Ramadan on 23 May 2020. To nominate, visit the Nak Beli Twitter, Instagram or Facebook account and tag the nominated recipient along with the hashtags #NakMakan and #KitaShare. Nak Makan will contact the recipient for their details and arrange for a special delivery in collaboration with partner MrSpeedy.
Additionally, members of the public can also donate a meal through the platform. The donor can choose who to buy the meal for by adding the recipient's social media handle during checkout.
The NAK MAKAN site - www.nakmakan.com.my - went live on 23 April 2020 for customers to place food orders daily from vendors in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Putrajaya between 10am to 6pm until the end of the fasting month. NAK MAKAN allows customers to place multiple orders from different vendors in the same transaction, so customers can receive and enjoy a variety of meals at the same time. Customers also have the option to pre-order on the site.
The introduction of the NAK MAKAN is aimed at supporting local food vendors who are not necessarily IT-savvy, by providing them with a platform to market their products during Ramadan and helping them generate a source of income.
