SUBANG JAYA: The implementation of the Festival Season Maximum Price Scheme has ensured that the prices of goods ahead of Hari Raya Aidilfitri are under control and that there is no shortage of food supplies, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said that due to the continuous actions of the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry and the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry, the prices of certain food items have also been cheaper during the period.
"There is no shortage of goods, and the price scheme has also been able to ensure that prices remain low, especially eggs and many other items," he said this to reporters after launching the Singgah Madani programme to check the prices of goods for Aidilfitri at the USJ Subang Mydin Hypermarket on Thursday (March 27).
Also present were Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari and Mydin Mohamed Holdings Berhad (Mydin) managing director Datuk Dr Ameer Ali Mydin.
Anwar, who arrived at 11.40am, also spent time checking the prices and quantities of goods in the hypermarket, officiating the price reduction campaign and placing the Madani Malaysia logo on the premises.
The Prime Minister also launched the Singgah Madani Happy Hour Sale. – Bernama
