Buy local products as gifts, souvenirs, PJ MP urges govt agencies

KUALA LUMPUR: Consider locally made products as gifts as a part of efforts to strengthen the ringgit, a government MP proposed to the Dewan Rakyat.

Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung proposed that 30% of government agencies' souvenir acquisitions should include products produced by local artists instead of the gifting plaques, medals, and trophies, that lack uniqueness and appeal.
