Aid for 25kg-bag removed from today


PETALING JAYA: The subsidy for the 25kg-bag of wheat flour will be taken off from today, a move which will likely lead to more costly food items like roti canai, noodles and those that use general purpose flour.

Millers who attended a meeting with the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry last week said they were informed about the subsidy removal then.
