I AM glad and thankful that the fuel price reduction was announced on Friday.

It has come some 10 days early. That is pleasing to know.

And please keep on reviewing periodically for appropriate adjustments.

Another priority for the rakyat is food and service price hikes.

This must be halted. I hope we have some way to do it.

I also call on traders and merchants to be seen to be fair now in reducing prices that they had raised when the fuel prices were increased. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Please share this good news with the people by doing your duty in ensuring fair prices in tandem with the reduction in fuel prices as of Saturday.

BULBIR SINGH, Seremban
