Good news, citizens of Malaysia! For everyone who feels the pinch due to the rising cost of living, you’d be glad to know that 10 supermarkets and hypermarkets nationwide will reduce the prices of 4,000 selected products by up to 70%.
“Today, we are launching a Price Reduction Campaign and 10 major companies with 955 outlets nationwide will participate,” Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said when launching the campaign at AEON Balakong.
He said that discounts of between 15% and 70% would be offered on some 4,000 selected products for a period of six months.
“The price reductions are big and this will surely be felt and enjoyed by the rakyat,” he said, adding that the exercise is part of the government’s effort to cushion the rising cost of living.
The companies participating in the campaign are AEON BIG, AEON, Mydin, Econosave, NSK, 99 Speedmart, Sego Fresh Mart, Giant, Tesco and KK Mart.
Among the items on the reduced-price list are fresh produce, dried food, frozen food, canned food, drinks, baby and children products and non-food items.
