However, he said there were already noticeable price reductions in fresh produce, such as vegetables. “Vegetable prices have dropped by 50% while prices of poultry and meat, such as beef, have also been reduced. I was told that you can buy poultry at RM5 or 6 (€1.08 - 1.30) per kilogramme. Beef can be purchased at RM30 to 33 (€6.46 - 7.11),” he said at a Hari Raya open house at the Seri Perdana complex, the official residence of the prime minister.
Salahuddin noted that essential items have dropped 30-50% in price. When asked if these prices would be maintained even when the Sales and Services Tax takes effect from Sept 1, he said the ministry will create a mechanism to keep these prices low.
