Ceiling price is to control prices of goods, not necessarily make them cheaper, Dewan Negara told

KUALA LUMPUR: Setting the maximum price of goods is to ensure they are not sold at too high a price, but this does not necessarily mean that the items will be cheaper, says Datuk Rosol Wahid.

The Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister told the Dewan Negara that consumers were often confused about the term maximum price, by assuming that the items would become less expensive than usual.
