MALAYSIAN PM WANTS THOSE WHO RAISE FOOD PRICES TO BE CHARGED?

PUTRAJAYA - Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak(photo) has directed the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry to take stern action against business operators who raise food prices.
He said this includes charging them in court.
"If they are found increasing their prices, the government will not hesitate to take action."
Najib said this was to ensure the people felt comfortable and at ease, especially with the current hikes in the prices of goods.
He said this at a dinner function attended by hundreds of cooperative members of the Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress (Kimma) at Putra World Trade Centre here.
