BATU KURAU, 2 Dec 2017:
The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) has instructed its enforcement officers and ‘Friends of KPDNKK’ to go down to flood-hit areas to monitor prices of goods.
Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the ministry, however, had not received any report on traders in areas affected by the floods indiscriminately raising the price of goods – but warned them of stern action if they were to be caught doing so.
“For shop operators who hike the price of their goods, we will announce the names of their shops in the media.”
