01:23 the person will be fined up to 100,000 rupiah or be jailed for at least 3 years and for the company fined up to 500,000 rupiah.
01:33 And second, even though the company knows the price but they don't put the red sticker of the sticker, the person can also be fined up to 500,000 rupiah and will be compounded up to 10,000 rupiah.
01:48 So I ask for cooperation from all the retailers in Kuala Lumpur to comply with the maximum price scheme that we have set.
02:01 For KBDNKL, we will monitor daily using our authorities and price supervisors.
02:09 And I also hope that the public will give us information because this has been exposed.
02:16 If you see that the prices of the items are not the same, not the same, but the prices of the items are above the prices that have been set, please report to KBDNKL and also our KBDN HQ.
02:31 For today, we will monitor about 100 outlets. We have gone through our authorities and price supervisors.
02:41 Okay, any questions? I will open the door.
02:43 Recently, the price of chicken has risen 30 cents to 98 cents per kilogram in JB. Is there a possibility that it will rise in the surrounding areas?
02:52 So far, we have not received such a complaint. If there is a possibility, everything is possible.
03:01 I can't say tomorrow, I have more or not, that's the price of chicken.
03:07 We can't be sure what will happen tomorrow, but what we can do, the government will always monitor and investigate and we will try to ensure that the people are not burdened with the cost of living.
03:25 Regarding the price in JB, I can't say because it is in Jauh Baru.
03:30 If you ask about the possibility of it happening in Kuala Lumpur, like I said, the possibility can happen anytime, but for us, so far, there are no signs that it will happen.
03:41 So, I don't guarantee, but so far I can make sure that it won't happen.
03:49 To guarantee, we are not sure, but so far it has not happened. The price is still at a satisfactory level.
