Enforce standard pricing during MCO


IN this current crisis, many citizens, especially those in the B40 (lower income) group, are without income and struggling to survive. Adding to their problems is the soaring price of vegetables and other food.

The Penang Hindu Association (PHA) and Penang Tanjung Muslim Association (Pelita) urge the Domes-tic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry to immediately take action against anyone taking advantage of the movement control order (MCO) period to make huge profits by charging exorbitant prices for basic groceries, food and vegetables.
