THE Menu Rahmah programme, which offers meals at RM5 and below, has been well-received but some are calling for more diversity among the traders offering the option.

When asked about his ministry’s efforts to attract multi-racial traders to the initiative, Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub indicated he was mulling collaborating with local governments to better assist those who wanted to participate.
