KUALA TERENGGANU: A total of 29 eateries and restaurants in Terengganu have responded to the government's call by offering the Rahmah Menu at their premises.
Terengganu Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry y(KPDN) enforcement director Saharuddin Mohd Kia said he was happy with the development and hoped to attract more food operators to join the initiative.
He said 17 of the premises were in Kuala Terengganu, Kuala Nerus (three), Marang (two), Kemaman (two), Besut (two), Dungun (two) and Hulu Terengganu (one).
"We are actively promoting and providing information on the initiative to get the participation of more traders," he said at a press conference on the implementation of the Rahmah Menu programme here today.
Saharuddin said many food operators in Terengganu were now offering prices below RM5 for a meal at their premises but using their own brand.
"We will help these traders rebrand their food according to the Rahmah Menu so that when the initiative by the government is launched later, they will also benefit from it," he added.
In another development, Saharuddin said 156 cases involving various offences by traders were recorded by the Terengganu KPDN from Jan 1 to Feb 9 this year.
He said of the total, 94 cases involved offences under the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011.
"During that period, goods amounting to RM83,000 were seized, involving compounds totalling RM21,700," he said. -- Bernama
