PETALING JAYA, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) will expand the organising of the Rahmah Sales programme to include flood-prone areas nationwide.
Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said this initiative is to ensure that the people, especially those affected by floods, would have access to essential goods at reasonable prices.
“As an additional measure, we have also appointed selected district retailers and selected district wholesalers in areas at risk of being affected by flood to ensure sufficient supply of goods that are accessible to the public.
“At the same time, KPDN officers are on the ground monitoring the prices of 480 types of items every day, because we understand that prices are closely linked to supply and demand factors.”
He said this at a press conference after witnessing the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Education and the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) at the MyIPO Tower, PJ Sentral, here.
The MoU aims to develop a special module on intellectual property for educators and students, which will be integrated as a Cross-Curriculum Element (EMK) in the existing curriculum.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) recently announced that the monsoon season in the country is expected to continue until March next year and bring between five to seven episodes of heavy rain.
