For the time being, his ministry has identified 10 consumer items based on Bank Negara Malaysia's recommendations but has plans to expand the list. Among the 10 items being studied by the government are eggs, flour, beef, chicken, onions and some vegetables among others. “The reason behind these 10 consumer is that through the central bank's study, we found that generally all Malaysians will purchase these 10 items when they go shopping. And our final goal is to lower the costs of living,” said Saifuddin.When asked regarding his efforts on fuel price and subsidies, Saifuddin explained that although the targeted fuel subsidy scheme is at 90 per cent completion, the government is also mulling its delivery and implementation process.
“We received a lot of volunteers from NGOs, youths, mosques and other community leaders who get themselves involved without asking for anything in return. I'm also happy to have cut through a lot of red tape and bureaucracy when implementing the food bank.
