KULAI: There is no data to support claims that prices of goods in Johor Baru are more expensive compared to other locations because of the influx of Singaporeans who visit and shop there, says Johor Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) director Lilis Saslinda Pornomo.

However, she said the public can channel complaints regarding any increase in the price of goods directly to the ministry.
