SUBANG JAYA, March 27 — The implementation of the Festival Season Maximum Price Scheme (SHMMP) has been able to ensure that the prices of goods ahead of the Hari Raya Aidilfitri are under control and there is no shortage of food supplies, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
As a result of the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry and the Agriculture and Food Security Ministry's continuous actions, the prices of certain food items have also been cheaper during the period in question.
“There is no shortage of goods, and it (SHMMP) has also been able to ensure that prices remain low, especially eggs and many other items,” he told the press after launching the Singgah Madani programme to check the prices of goods during SHMMP for Aidilfitri at the USJ Subang Mydin Hypermarket today.
Also present were KPDN Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, Selangor Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari, and Mydin Mohamed Holdings Berhad managing director Datuk Ameer Ali Mydin.
Anwar also thanked Mydin's management for participating in helping to offer 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.
Apart from the forum conducted by AKM, among other contents in the program this time is the Price Reduction Campaign by the KPDN.
The Prime Minister, who arrived at 11.40am, also spent time checking the prices and quantities of goods in the hypermarket and officiating the price reduction campaign and the placement of the Madani Malaysia logo at the premises.
He also launched the Singgah Madani Happy Hour Sale, which saw many buyers take the opportunity to buy essential goods at reasonable prices.
