KUCHING: Traders have been advised not to take advantage of the border reopening to increase prices.

Malaysia transitioned to the endemic phase of Covid-19 on April 1 when the country's borders were also reopened after being closed for two years during the pandemic. Nanta also said that during Ops Pantau, his ministry would step up enforcement and monitoring of prices and essential supplies during Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri this year.

He said Ops Pantau aimed to ensure that consumers would be able to get food supplies and daily necessities at reasonable prices. "It will be conducted throughout the country with focal points being places like Ramadan bazaars, Aidilfitri bazaars, public markets, supermarkets and grocery stores," he said. – Bernama
