“One of the Yayasan Food Bank Malaysia’s key objectives is to help the underprivileged with access to food supplies to reduce cost of living. Through this, we are also able to reduce food waste and help ease and lessen the cost of living of the underprivileged Malaysians. Xiaomi is the first consumer tech company we’ve partnered with, and we are thankful for their time and effort in preparing for this contribution to support the local communities in need. We hope to see more industry leaders stepping up to provide care and aid to local communities that need support. Hopefully, with Xiaomi onboard, more will follow suit.”

Final Words
The pandemic has left many families in Malaysia struggling to live their lives, with many households’ income becoming affected by COVID-19. It’s great to see tech brands step up to give back to the community that supports them, especially since the tech industry is the least economically impacted since the pandemic happened.
