The government will provide protein-rich food at subsidised prices to around 1 million low-income families across the country during the holy month of Ramadan, said State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku on Thursday. He said all concerned must work with honesty and dedication to fulfil the commitments made by the prime minister to the nation. The state minister noted that during Ramadan, some unscrupulous traders hike prices of essential commodities, increasing hardships for low-income people. He said such government initiatives would help ease their suffering and there are plans to expand the programme further in the future. The programme was chaired by Director General of the Department of Livestock Services Dr Md Abu Sufian.
