BERA: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today reminded companies and industry players not to raise the prices of goods although their electricity bills are expected to increase following the loss of rebates and the imposition of a surcharge.
The prime minister said he was made to understand that the expected hike for commercial entities and industries will not be that high to justify an increase in prices.
“I have asked the Domestic Trade and Consumers Affairs Ministry (KPDNHEP) to engage with major companies, especially the industries so that there will not be an increase (in the price of goods),” he said.
He told reporters this after presenting the North-East Monsoon Basic Necessities Aid 2021/2022 totalling RM2,500 each to 1,157 household heads from Bera district affected by the recent floods.
State Public Works, Transport and Health Committee chairman Datuk Seri Norolazali Sulaiman, who is also Guai assemblyman, was also present. — Bernama
