Government to develop new system to enhance price transparency for essential goods
PETALING JAYA: The government will develop a new price and supply repository system for essential goods, says Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister said that the system would supply the public with information on current supply and market prices of essentials throughout the supply chain. 'The system will also be used to address profiteering and price manipulation activities, including those involving middlemen,' he said in a statement on Sunday (August 3). Armizan added that the system's development would involve various ministries and industry players. He said that the system was part of the government's efforts to enhance the stability of the food supply chain over the next five years under the new 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP). 'This effort will include improvements to infrastructure, the retail sector, price transparency and regulatory enforcement. 'By enhanced collaboration with the private sector, we hope to increase the availability of marketing infrastructure, including collection, processing, packaging, and distribution centres, as well as logistics facilities and digital services. 'Small- and medium-scale retailers will also be empowered to increase their participation in newly introduced agrofood marketing hubs,' Armizan said in the statement.

13MP to tackle cost of living, strengthen food supply chain - Armizan
Armizan seated fourth from right with invited guests and participants of the seminar. PENAMPANG (Aug 3): The 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) will continue the MADANI Government's mission to improve public well-being, with a focus on addressing the rising cost of living and strengthening the national food supply chain over the next five years. Minister of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, said 13MP — covering 2026 to 2030 — serves as a medium-term development plan and strategic extension of the MADANI Economic Framework. 'This plan has been carefully crafted to encompass all key dimensions — economic sustainability, people's well-being, environmental conservation and good governance,' he told reporters after officiating the Seminar Kenegaraan Malaysia MADANI Pesara Guru (Rancakkan MADANI Sabah) here on Sunday. Armizan said one of the three main pillars of 13MP is 'Raising the Floor', which focuses heavily on cost of living issues. He noted that the cost of living is a global challenge worsened by geopolitical tensions, climate change and disruptions in food supply and security. The MADANI Government, he said, is addressing the issue through two strategic frameworks: Managing price stability and inflation; and Enhancing people's ability to sustain livelihoods through income growth and targeted assistance. 'To stabilise prices, we must address market supply and demand — including curbing market manipulation and promoting healthy competition, especially for essential goods,' he said. As part of 13MP, the government will also strengthen the national food supply chain by upgrading infrastructure, empowering the retail sector, ensuring price transparency, and tightening enforcement. Marketing infrastructure will be improved in areas such as collection, processing, packaging and distribution — supported by logistics and digital services in partnership with the private sector. 'Small and medium-scale retailers will be empowered to participate in the agro-food marketing hubs that will be introduced,' said Armizan. To ensure transparency, the government is also developing a Price and Supply Repository System, which will provide data to combat price manipulation and profiteering — including among middlemen. This system, he said, will support enforcement efforts under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 and the Competition Act 2010. Its development will involve collaboration between multiple ministries and industry players to ensure an integrated, effective approach, he added.

13MP: Govt not neglecting rural areas – Ahmad Zahid
Ahmad Zahid (second from right), listens to kindergarten children reciting short surahs during his visit to the Kemas kindergarten in Kampung Sapagaya.-Bernama photo LAHAD DATU (Aug 3): The empowerment of rural regions, including in Sabah, through the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) proves that the government is not sidelining these areas from the national development agenda, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Ahmad Zahid, who is also Minister of Rural and Regional Development, said that for Sabah, he observed several key areas of specific focus, including efforts to position the state as a Blue Economy hub to attract investment in new strategic industries. 'We will also enhance flood mitigation measures for the safety and wellbeing of the people,' he said when officiating the 'Sentuhan Kasih Desa MADANI @ Lahad Datu' programme in Kampung Sapagaya here on Sunday. He said the government also plans to turn Sabah into a food production hub, thereby strengthening the role of rural areas as the backbone of national food security. When tabling the 13MP for the 2026–2030 period under the theme 'Redesigning Development', Prime Minsiter Datuk Seri Anwar Inrahim announced initiatives such as the Sarawak Hydrogen Hub and Sabah Energy Supply Assurance to strengthen energy infrastructure in both states. Under the 13MP, priority will also be given to the construction of the Sabah-Sarawak-Kalimantan road network in alignment with the relocation of Indonesia's capital to Nusantara in East Kalimantan. Emphasis is also placed on an intensive poverty eradication strategy, digital transformation, and support for the resilience of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The government remains committed to strengthening the retail network of 'Pasar Tamu' markets in Sabah and Sarawak, the development of integrated fisheries hubs, coastal and maritime tourism, as well as blue biotechnology — including upgrading bunkering facilities at Sabah ports. Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid said the 13MP is also a manifestation of the MADANI Government's resolve to develop basic infrastructure, strengthen entrepreneurship and enhance disaster preparedness in rural areas. At the programme, he also presented support equipment aid under the Rural Entrepreneurship Empowerment Support Scheme (SPKLB) and officiated the opening of a new KEMAS kindergarten building and skills training classroom.-Bernama
