PARLIAMENT | Opposition and government MPs have banded together in the Dewan Rakyat today in urging the government to address rising costs of living, particularly amid increased food price inflation.

Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin (PN-Larut) had first questioned Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying on the government’s plan to tackle the rising food cost inflation, taking issue with the expanded sales and service tax (SST) affecting food items.
