Minister swoop finds traders violating price controls in JB

SEVERAL traders, including butchers at the Larkin Sentral market in Johor Baru, are fleecing consumers by selling imported buffalo meat, imported mutton and several other items above the ceiling prices set under the maximum price scheme in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

The unkind cut was disclosed by Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Salahuddin Ayub, who swooped down on the market today.
