DAP Youth has urged the government to postpone a ban on the use of household liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in eateries, warning that the move could burden consumers as food operators will be forced to raise their prices.

DAP Youth public policy bureau chief Jason Ng highlighted that the price of commercial LPG is nearly three times higher than its domestic counterpart, with many small eateries and hawkers still relying on subsidised gas to conduct their businesses.
