In a posting on his official Facebook page, Saifuddin the visit was to check on whether traders were still complying with the scheme prices besides obtaining feedback from traders and consumers. “”Alhamdulilah, checks all around found prices there about the same as the ones fixed during the implementation of the SHMMP scheme. There were enough supplies and quality of items sold were good,” he said.“Traders are reminded not to raise prices as they like even if the scheme has ended. They must also comply with consumer laws such as displaying price tags and ensuring their measuring scales are accurate,” he said.
