Stretching the ringgit


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Family Sales campaign has enabled consumers to purchase basic necessities at a cheaper price especially ahead of the upcoming Thaipusam and Chinese New Year festivities, says the Plantation Industries and Commodities Ministry.

Its Minister Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin said the sales campaign, conducted at Aeon Big Ampang and offering discounts of up to 30% since Friday, was able to some extent ease the financial burden of consumers amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
