Check controlled items via SMS in Malaysia

It is said that traders and retailers like to increase prices of their goods in Malaysia when a number of holidays is approaching. Currently, there is the Festival of Lights (or Deepavali) for the Indian population, next is the end of the fasting month, followed by Christmas and than Chinese New Year - not to forget the New Year celebrations.

So there are lots of chances to sneak in some price increases, however, the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Department will launch a service for customers to check prices of controlled food items via telephone or short messaging system.

We just hope that it all works out just fine.
