KOTA KINABALU: The government has allocated RM100 million to Sabah for implementation of the price standardisation programme in rural areas and islands in the state.
The Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Ministry’s Sabah director Noor Alam Khan said the allocation for this year had been increased as more areas had been included in the programme, which involves Kudat, Tawau, Keningau and Tambunan.
“We want residents in the interior and islands to enjoy the same standard price as urban dwellers,” he told the media after the presentation of the state-level Undergraduates Consumerism Movement awards, at the federal government administrative complex in Likas near here Monday.
He said 1,444 retail shops in Sabah were participating in the programme which was introduced in 2009.
Meanwhile, Universiti Malaysia Sabah which clinched the top award, and UiTM Sabah and ATI College which were the first and second runners-up received RM1,500, RM1,200 and RM1,000 respectively, plus a certificate each.
