MUKAH: The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) here will organise a Malaysian Family Sale programme (PJKM) on Jan 25 and Gafu Supermarket has been selected as the venue for Mukah Parliament.
Mukah head Salihin Den said Mukah MP Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib had agreed to the programme, which could be held monthly.
He added that the programme was a government initiative aimed at helping to reduce the current high cost of living and the burden of the people.
