MIRI: There must be strict control over fuel prices for vehicles in rural Sarawak over the next few weeks to prevent profiteering during the election period.

Natives in remote parliamentary constituencies in Sarawak are worried that fuel suppliers may hike the price of diesel and petrol during the election campaign period in rural areas.
