Enough supply of essential goods ahead of Aidilfitri - Penang EXCO

He said that so far, the committee has not received any official complaints regarding supply shortages.

"Usually, ahead of Aidilfitri, there are supply issues with items such as eggs, chicken, beef, cooking oil, and coconut milk, but we have not received any official complaints so far.

"The situation remains under control, though there may be a slight shortage of packet cooking oil, but other items are sufficient," he told reporters here.

Fahmi said the situation has also been supported by the Rahmah Sales programme, which offers essential goods at lower prices to ease the people's financial burden.

He said the programme is held weekly at different locations in all state constituencies, and it has received an encouraging response.

"We are still continuing with the programme, and every time it is held, there are long queues as the prices offered are lower than market rates," he said.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said that local white rice is now available in the market and sold across all districts, though demand remains moderate for now.
