KOTA KINABALU: Rebecca Chin could not have imagined how a personal food drive for the overworked healthcare workers in Sabah would later turn into a full-fledged daily mission.
Chin had felt helpless looking at Sabah’s tired healthcare workers, who have been battered by record-high numbers of Covid-19 cases, and had wanted to give something back to the frontliners.
She spoke to her friends Kathie and Shone Majimbun, a husband-and-wife team who run Shoney’s, an eatery in town, and they immediately jumped at the chance to help out.
“They quickly agreed to help and with that the catering service to frontliners started on Oct 20. We had enough food to deliver free hot lunches for three days. However, Kathie then told me that several of her friends wanted to chip in as well,” said Chin.
