SHAH ALAM – Residents in Selangor have been assured of a sufficient supply of eggs and subsidised 1kg cooking oil.
The Selangor chief enforcement officer of the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, Mohd Khairi Jamaludin, said that even if there is shortage, it would only be temporary and confined to certain localities.
Supply will be restored within a reasonable period, he said in a statement today.
“Undeniably, there is limited purchase for eggs, but the situation is not critical,” he said, calling for the cooperation of consumers to make purchases according to their needs.
Do not engage in panic buying by keeping a surplus of stock, he added.
On the 1kg cooking oil packets, Khairi said inspections conducted today found that the supply was stable and sufficient to meet the demand of customers in the state.
“The government’s directive to limit (consumers) to only three packets per purchase is reasonable to ensure that everybody gets to enjoy subsidised cooking,” he said.
Khairi said that the Selangor enforcement division of the ministry would continue to conduct daily checks on the price and supply of essential items in the market. – Bernama, December 5, 2022
