BACHOK: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) seized RM115 million worth of goods involving 10,894 cases of violating controlled and subsidised items throughout last year.
Deputy Minister Fuziah Salleh said this includes traders cheating customers and altering the price tag of eggs, among other things.
“There are also cases where traders sold eggs at a higher price, for example, Grade B eggs, are marked as higher grades. It is an offence and action can be taken against them.
“In such cases, we will confiscate the goods for error in pricing," she told reporters after inspecting the supply of food items at a supermarket in Jelawat here today.
Other offences recorded are related to the supply of packet cooking oil, flour, petrol and diesel.
