KUALA NERUS: A RM200mil allocation under Budget 2023 to support the cost of transportation and distribution of essentials would enable more people in rural and interior areas to enjoy these goods at the same prices as in urban areas, says Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Deputy Minister Datuk Rosol Wahid.

He said the allocation would enable the ministry to expand the Price Standardisation and Distribution of Essential Goods programme to more rural areas, including in Sabah and Sarawak.
