PUTRAJAYA, April 18 — Menu Rahmah operators will be given special discounts on the price of ingredients to ensure the sustainability of the initiative, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar, who is also the Minister of Finance, said the government with the cooperation of selected supermarkets agreed to offer the price of raw materials such as chicken, onions, basic food items for Menu Rahmah operators at special discounted rates.
“Through this effort, it is hoped that we will be able to provide relief to entrepreneurs and further ensure the continuation of the implementation of the Menu Rahmah which has provided great benefits especially to the poor,” he said in a press conference here today.
Anwar said the government appreciates the contribution of Menu Rahmah operators in jointly ensuring the success of MADANI’s aspirations to reduce the cost of living for the people.
“At the same time, the government is also aware and concerned about the production costs that entrepreneurs have to bear in order to obtain supplies of raw materials,” he said.
The government through the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living launched the Menu Rahmah initiative to help reduce the cost of living for the people, especially the poor.
