PUTRAJAYA, Jan 10 — The mechanism for controlling the price of goods and setting the ceiling price will be reviewed soon, said Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub.
The Federation of Malaysian Retailers Association recently raised that the government should re-evaluate the price control mechanism which is considered to be out of date and has resulted in the short supply of controlled goods such as eggs, sugar and cooking oil in the market. On the 'Payung Rahmah' initiative, which includes the 'Bakul Rahmah', 'Jualan Rahmah', 'Kafe Rahmah' and 'Pakej Rahmah' programmes to reduce the cost of living, Salahuddin said KPDN will focus its implementation on the hardcore poor.
In a separate development, he denied that there is no packet cooking oil in the market as claimed by some parties, but assured that KPDN officials will act immediately if there are complaints about the lack of supply.
