Hamzah: Other ministries should also care about cost of living



As the cost of living continues to bear down on Malaysians, the minister in charge of consumerism Hamzah Zainuddin said this should not be a solo effort.
"All of us here should understand that when we mention cost of living, it is not only about one ministry, there are so many other ministries that should understand and know that they are supposed to know about cost of living," Hamzah said.
He said it was "not fair" for him to shoulder the burden alone, and that others, such as the Transport, Education, Health and Housing and Local Government ministries, should also think about their collective responsibility in tackling the rising cost of living.
He was speaking to officers from the Domestic Trade, Cooperatives, and Consumerism Ministry (KPDNKK) at a monthly staff gathering in Putrajaya today.
The issue of rising costs had dominated headlines over the past week, with both celebrities and politicians weighing in on the matter.
Hamzah said despite the problem not being his alone, his ministry is determined to work on the solution.
"Since all of you don't want to take up this issue, KPDNKK will be the one that will solve the problem of cost of living," he said.
He said the ministry had formed a cost of living council to look into the matter.
Speaking at a press conference later, Hamzah said the council would consist of not just government representatives, but also experts from various fields and NGOs.- Mkini
