What is the new end date for the price control scheme?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Keluarga Malaysia Maximum Price Control Scheme (SHMKM) Has Been Extended to February 4

The Keluarga Malaysia Maximum Price Control Scheme (SHMKM), initially set to conclude on December 31, has been extended until February 4. This decision aims to maintain price stability and ensure the consistent availability of essential goods in the market.
Scheme Coverage Remains Consistent

The SHMKM will continue to encompass 12 daily essential items across three main categories: chicken, eggs, and vegetables. These items include live chicken, standard chicken, super chicken, Grade A, B, and C eggs, long beans, red chili, tomatoes, choy sum, imported round cabbage (from Indonesia and China), and cucumbers.
Rationale for Extension

The extension follows feedback received and serves as an ongoing measure to stabilise prices and guarantee supply. The government previously introduced the SHMKM from December 7 to December 31 as an initial effort to address price fluctuations and ensure adequate market supply of necessities.
Enforcement and Compliance Measures

Throughout the extended period, enforcement officers from the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry will conduct daily price monitoring nationwide. Inspections will cover various locations, including public markets, farmers' markets, supermarkets, and wholesale supply chain traders. The ministry is working closely with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry (MAFI) to ensure sufficient supply and price stability. Traders are reminded to adhere to the maximum prices set under the scheme, as non-compliance can result in actions taken under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011.
