00:00We admit that any change in costs and prices, especially in important sectors such as logistics and firewood, can affect the price of goods.
00:14However, the government has taken careful approach and considered various mechanisms to minimize the impact on people's livelihoods.
00:25This includes providing large subsidies such as firewood subsidies that are continuously provided by the B40 group,
00:33and several segments of society that are in need, in addition to special assistance in the recently announced subsidies.
00:42For the coming time, the government expects that the increase in goods prices and cost of living will remain in a controlled state.
00:51However, we do not deny the possibility of a small increase due to external factors such as prices, global commodity, and supply chain issues.
01:02In this regard, a minimum wage increase is intended to increase the income of low-income people,
01:11while helping them to handle the cost of living better.
01:16The government is also taking proactive steps to ensure that the supply of goods is sufficient and the price remains stable,
01:25including through cooperation with various agencies to monitor the stock of necessities such as rice, vegetables, and cooking oil packets.
