JOHOR BARU: The Johor state government is encouraging more creative ways of addressing the high cost of living rather than just depending on one-off cash handouts, said Mentri Besar Datuk Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

He said that businesses and non-governmental organisations could work with the state government to come up with other measures to help ease the people’s burden.
