Minister: Food in Malaysia cheaper than elsewhere

Despite talk of higher prices of goods, Malaysians should be proud that things are cheaper here compared to neighbouring countries, said Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.

“We should be proud as prices of goods in Singapore is 70% higher while they are 71% more expensive in Brunei,” he said when answering a question raised by G. Manivannan (PKR-Kapar) in Dewan Rakyat.
