J-KOM DG takes the blame for the brickbats over grocery bill but stands by his data


PETALING JAYA: Having come under fire from netizens over a monthly RM391 grocery bill for a family of four, Community Communications Department (J-KOM) director-general Datuk Dr Mohammad Agus Yusoff admitted that there were failings on his part which led to such criticism.

However, he stands by the data on the infographics that J-KOM had published, while admitting both the title of the infographics on the monthly grocery bill and the accompanying explanations were confusing.
