Smartphone app among proposed methods to track purchase of subsidised goods | The Malaysian Insight

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Alexander Nanta Linggi says the use of smartphone apps is among several ideas proposed to monitor consumers’ purchase of subsidised goods. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, June 25, 2022.

He said the government was still looking into the best possible method and several recommendations were given to prevent leakage in the wholesale purchase of goods, including cooking oil in 1kg polybags in the market. “With the smartphone application we may be able to track and prevent further purchases and this applies not only to cooking oil but other subsidised items as well,” he said after visiting a cooking oil packaging plant today.

Also present during the visit were the ministry’s Sarawak branch deputy director Peter J. Berinus Agang and Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap Yau Sin.

Subsidised goods are still from the peoples money and we don't need no nincompoop to suggest spending more on an app which could have a more sinister purpose.

Oh my data

let's spend 300 mil for that
