KOTA KINABALU: Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub said that as of today a total of 1,531 business premises have registered to implement the Menu Rahmah initiative nationwide and the number is expected to continue to increase from time to time.

He said out of the total, 105 food premises in Sabah have participated in the initiative including a hotel in Sandakan which is the first hotel in the country to offer an accommodation package with Rahmah prices throughout the Ramadan month.

“Hence, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) is calling on more industry players, especially restaurants, food and retail industry in Sabah, to work together with the government to achieve this aspiration to lessen the people's cost of living,” he said after launching the Menu Rahmah at the BTC Bistro in Inanam here today.

Salahuddin said Menu Rahmah is the government's latest initiative that has gone viral in helping and reducing the cost of living for the people, especially those in need to get balanced meals at a price of RM5 and below.
