SHAH ALAM, April 13 — The Selangor government’s Jualan Prihatin Rakyat initiative, which offers essential food items at a lower price, will be held in four locations this coming Saturday and Sunday.
The programme will be held at Dataran Tonggak 9 in Sungai Besar and the Sekinchan Community Centre, Sekinchan, on Saturday.
While on Sunday, the initiative is set to run at Taman Jenaris Resident Association activity centre, Kajang, and in front of the Hulu Langat Mukim Penghulu Complex, Pekan Batu 14, Hulu Langat.
The programme is from 10am until 1pm.
The cheap sales programme is conducted every weekend, aiming to cover 64 areas throughout the state to help ease the people’s burden following the price hike in food items.
The programme offers chicken prices at RM12 each, fresh meat at RM35 per kilogramme, grade B eggs at RM10 per tray and mackerel fish or sardines at RM8 per pack.
The state government had, on February 27, agreed to sell four daily necessities, namely chicken, egg, meat and fish, at an affordable rate until the Hari Raya festival.
The initiative runs every Saturday and Sunday and continues the cheap sales initiative launched by Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari in early February.
