SUBANG JAYA: The implementation of the Festival Season Maximum Price Scheme (SHMMP) has been able to ensure the prices of goods ahead of Hari Raya Aidilfitri are under control and there is no shortage of food supplies, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
The Prime Minister said that as a result of the continuous actions of the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry (KPDN) and the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry (KPKM), prices of certain food items have also got cheaper during the period in question.
“There is no shortage of goods, and it (SHMMP) has also been able to ensure prices remain low, especially eggs and many other items,” he told Bernama after launching the Singgah Madani programme to check the prices of goods during SHMMP for Aidilfitri at the USJ Subang Mydin Hypermarket here yesterday.
Also present were KPDN Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari and Mydin Mohamed Holdings Bhd managing director Datuk Dr Ameer Ali Mydin.
Anwar also thanked the management of Mydin for participating by offering reasonable prices to the people.
The Singgah Madani programme aims to provide information on the efforts and policies implemented by the Madani government in ensuring that the well-being of the people continues to be maintained.
Anwar, who arrived at 11.40am, also spent time checking the prices and quantities of goods in the hypermarket and officiated the price reduction campaign and the placement of the Madani Malaysia logo at the premises.
The Prime Minister also launched the Singgah Madani Happy Hour Sale which saw many buyers take the opportunity to buy essential goods at reasonable prices.
