The federal government will prioritize several strategies to stabilize inflation and tackle rising living costs in Budget 2025, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
Fadillah, who also serves as the Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, shared this during the Sabah, Sarawak, and Federal Territory of Labuan Price Stabilization Committee Meeting he chaired on Tuesday. He emphasized that the government’s efforts to stabilize the prices of goods and services align with the core principles of the Madani government to safeguard the well-being of the people.
"I welcome new initiatives, whether short, medium, or long-term, especially those that can directly contribute to the goal of stabilizing prices," Fadillah said. "This will benefit the people by helping them cope with the challenges of the cost of living, both now and in the future."
Fadillah also proposed including representatives from several related agencies in Sabah, Sarawak, and the Federal Territory of Labuan as members of the committee to ensure comprehensive discussions on price stabilization efforts. He stressed that a collaborative, whole-of-nation approach involving multiple stakeholders is necessary to achieve the committee’s objectives.
The meeting was attended by the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah Ali Hasan, and Sabah Minister of Community Development and People’s Well-being Datuk James Ratib. This was the second committee meeting, following the first held on March 7 in Kuala Lumpur.
