Consumer groups urge the government to pursue effective policies that can improve living conditions instead.
Malaysia Consumers’ Movement secretary-general Sukhdave Singh wants the government to adopt an autarkic policy aimed at achieving self-sustainability in food production.
“The cost of essential goods continues to rise, impacted by global elements. Responding with subsidies is not a long-term solution. “Invest in upgrading equipment and replacing older ones. Increase hospital beds to ensure that everyone gets the treatment they deserve, supported with sufficient medical personnel,” said Sukhdave.
Mohideen suggested that food shortages could be mitigated by fostering the local agricultural sector’s growth. On the other hand, Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations CEO Saravanan Thambirajah had a favourable view of subsidies, saying that they help alleviate the financial burdens faced by citizens.
