KUALA LUMPUR: More will be done to ensure at least 30% of products sold at hypermarkets are “Made in Malaysia” to help offset the rising cost of living.

Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said presently, only 10% to 15% products found on shelves at hypermarkets were made by bumiputra small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs).
