PAPAR: Forming a cartel to gain profit without fair competition is an act of sabotage against the government’s ongoing efforts to reduce the people’s cost of living, says Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali.

Citing the case where five companies were fined RM415.5mil for fixing the price of poultry feed on Friday, he said the issue was not just about anti-competition and market manipulation, but also its impact on the people’s cost of living.
