Set up own cooperative, PPRs advised

FEDERAL Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor has proposed that every People’s Housing Project (PPR) in the federal territories establish its own cooperative in support of the implementation and development of the fair price shop network.

He said the involvement of cooperatives in the wholesale and retail sector through fair price shops would enable consumer goods to be offered at much lower prices, strengthening the economy of the local communities.
