KUALA NERANG: A proposal for ministers to take a pay and allowance cut is not the solution that will help the people deal with the rising cost of living now, said Rural Development Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid (pic). Instead, he said the situation should be addressed with more effective methods including those announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob regarding electricity tariffs and chicken prices. He also said maintaining the price of RON95 petrol at RM2.05 per litre is also one of the measures to help the people cope with the rising cost of living. He encouraged those with ideas that can help the people deal with the issue to forward them to the government and the Prime Minister. If she has an idea, she should meet the Prime Minister and tell him her ideas," he added.
