CYBERJAYA: Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has urged members of Komuniti Madani to download the “Price Catcher” app to assist the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) in addressing the issue of sudden price hikes.

He said that through the app, consumers can easily compare prices, and if they detect sudden increases in the prices of certain goods, Komuniti Madani can inform the district information officers serving their respective communities.

“Inform us about the products available in your area and any difficulties so that we can collaborate with KPDN to resolve the issue of rising prices.

“This is among the functions and duties of us as Komuniti Madani,” he said to nearly 2,000 Komuniti Madani members during a session held in conjunction with the launch of the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2024 campaign here today.
