The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) launched the Menu Rahmah programme earlier this year to encourage restaurants to sell meals at affordable prices

With 15,000 restaurants having committed to the initiative to provide meals from as low as RM5, the government hopes that low income groups can afford to buy food despite the rising cost of living.
