CYBERJAYA: Out of the 1,091 premises inspected in Selangor under the Festive Season Maximum Price Scheme (SHMMP) this year, only four have been subject to actions thus far.
Selangor Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) chief enforcement officer Mohd Khairi Jamaludin Mohd Khairi Jamaludin said this clearly showed that traders in the state were highly compliant with the regulations set during the Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa and Deepavali celebrations last year.
“The State KPDN is confident that traders’ adherence to SHMMP for Christmas, in effect from today until Dec 27, will result in zero offences.” he told reporters after an inspection at a supermarket here today.
Mohd Khairi affirmed that the supply of sugar and cooking oil in Selangor is presently well-regulated and under control.
He said that the Selangor KPDN will strengthen the presence of enforcement officers at focal points to foster a harmonious and ethical business environment.
Additionally, they will continue to carry out routine inspections to ensure no hoarding of supply of cooking oil and sugar, he added. – Bernama
