KOTA BARU: More effective communication channels, such as creating a website and setting up an enforcement network or a hotline for the public to lodge complaints related to price hikes, are in the pipeline, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

He said that so far, the special task force he was chairing to battle inflation had received a recommendation to facilitate 1,800 members of the community to check the price increase situation at the grassroots level throughout the country.
