PUTRAJAYA: The Festive Season Maximum Price Control Scheme (SHMMP) for Hari Raya Aidilfitri involving 30 items will be implemented for 16 days from this Saturday (April 15) until April 30.
Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub said the items included six types of goods from the chicken and egg category, controlled under the maximum price of chicken and eggs which came into force on Feb 5 last year.
Tomatoes, red chillies, imported round cabbage, long beans, cucumbers, mustard greens, imported old ginger, imported red onion, yellow onion, Chinese garlic, Indian red onion, imported potatoes, dried chillies, peanuts, coconuts and grated coconut are also on the list. Salahuddin said the ministry did not plan to extend the SHMMP implementation period because 16 days was sufficient, adding that the prices of subsidised goods such as cooking oil, chicken, eggs, flour and sugar will remain after that.
Elaborating, he said the SHMMP is enforced through the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011, which allows price determination to be made, and the maximum price set at the wholesaler and retailer levels is available on the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry’s website.
