Chance to ride out tough times

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Family Sale, which offers a variety of basic goods at prices up to 50% lower than the market rate and will be held nationwide beginning tomorrow, is an effective intervention to help alleviate the economic burden faced by the public.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the sale, which will be held in all 222 parliamentary constituencies twice a month starting Saturday until February, was part of the government’s efforts to ensure consumers get the necessities at cheaper prices amid the rising cost of living during the Covid-19 pandemic.
