GEORGE TOWN, Nov 2 ― Penang won’t be short of subsidised cooking oil anymore this week, the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry said today.
“This is because the largest cooking oil repacker factory in this district had to close for a week after one of its workers was positive for Covid-19,” he said in a press conference after a walkabout at the Chowrasta Market here to check on pricing of controlled price items for Deepavali. Mohd Ridzuan stressed that this shortage of subsidised repackaged cooking oil, which is sold in 1kg sealed plastic packets instead of in bottles, is only for last week in the northeast district of Penang island.
He said the ministry acted immediately after receiving complaints from consumers and the Consumers' Association of Penang on the cooking oil shortage. Yesterday, CAP education officer NV Subbarow claimed to have visited 12 grocery stores on Penang island and could not find any subsidised cooking oil.
Earlier, Mohd Ridzuan also checked on the prices of the 11 items listed under the Deepavali Festive Season Maximum Price Scheme.
