The urban poor tend to rely on diet of rice and little nutritional value.
These urban poor are categorised under B40 group. There are 2.78 mil of them with total household income less that RM4000.
Some mis conception that the poor are in the rural, but it is the urban that face food security, mainly due to high cost.
About 70% of B40 school children do not have proper breakfast, thus making them not ready to learn.
Now the government is looking at ways to give subsidiaries for better food for the children.
