On 25 April 2020, Cha wrote a letter to then Prime MinisterMuhyiddin Yassin to request him to order a probe into the distribution of food baskets to lower-income (B40, meaning Bawah 40%, the 40% bottom, describing the 40% people with lowest income) group affected by theCOVID-19 pandemic to ensure transparency and prevent abuse. Cha questioned the costs of food baskets, which he claimed they only costed RM 35, in strong contradiction with the guidelines of theMinistry of Finance which outlined that they cost RM 100 and each MP would receive 1,000 baskets.
