JOHOR BARU: The impending hike in assessment in at least five of the 16 local councils in Johor is causing concern among consumers who are worried that they may have to pay more for food and goods.
JOHOR consumer groups are calling for the Federal Government to consider extending the Rumah Belia Madani (RBM) scheme, targeted at youths, to other parts of the country.
KUALA LUMPUR: The government has been urged to continue drawing up policies that can help reduce the prices of goods to ease the burden of people from the low-income group (B40).
