Kota Kinabalu: Due to the increased cost of production, some manufacturers have stopped producing subsidised wheat flour, said Community Development and People’s Wellbeing Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya.
“Flour is one of the essential items that have price controls and subsidies,” he told the State Legislative Assembly sitting, Tuesday.
“The subsidised multi-purpose wheat flour is sold at RM1.35 for each bag. However, most that are being sold in the market at RM3.83 per bag is unsubsidised wheat flour.”
