Pakatan committee demands consumer affairs minister and deputy to resign
The Cost of Living Committee of Pakatan Harapan (PH) has demanded the Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi and his deputy Datuk Rosol Wahid to quit after failing to manage food price increases.
PH members brought the matter up in Parliament, according to a committee statement, but the government has failed to handle it, proving the duo’s incompetence, the statement said.
So the Cost of Living Committee found that the present administration had failed to deal with increasing food costs.
According to a statement released today, “we ask both the two ministers and the deputy ministers of KPDNHEP to accept the responsibility of resigning.”
Lim Guan Eng, the secretary-general of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), had questioned if Nanta would resign from his ministerial role if he failed to curb the rise in the cost of daily necessities three days earlier.
