BERA:
The anti-inflation special task force, created to help Malaysians deal with the rising cost of living, is beginning to show positive results, says Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

He said the task force had succeeded in controlling the price hike and guaranteeing adequate supply of goods, especially chicken and bottled cooking oil.

“The government continues to implement various initiatives to help the people face the cost of living challenge and inflation crisis affecting the whole world.

“The government has expanded and rebranded the Keluarga Malaysia Sales Programme (PJKM) to the Keluarga Malaysia Cheap Sale Programme (JMKM).

“This involves 600 state constituencies across the country and 13 parliamentary constituencies in the federal territories,” he said.

Ismail said this when launching the national-level Retail Sector Digitalisation Initiative (ReDI) Programme and the rebranding of JMKM programme here.

The JMKM programme that started last week will go on until December, offering essential items at up to 20% below the local market price.

He said the government had allocated RM80 million through five ministries as implementing agencies to make JMKM a success.
