PUTRAJAYA, Aug 21 (Bernama) – All ministries have been directed to intensify monitoring at various levels to prevent any increase in the prices of goods following the recent announcement of a public sector salary increase, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said today.
Fahmi, who serves as the spokesman for the Unity Government, said this directive was issued during today’s Cabinet meeting, which was chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He said Cabinet ministers will also conduct field visits to their respective constituencies or locations deemed necessary for monitoring purposes.
“There is a need to ensure that enforcement aspects are enhanced to prevent price increases, especially for food in restaurants.
“There is a specific reminder on this to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN), but other ministries are also asked to increase their monitoring,” he said at the post-Cabinet meeting press conference here.
