Khalid: Inflation task force looks like an act

Amanah communications director Khalid Abdul Samad has dismissed the Special Jihad Task Force to Tackle Inflation formed by the government as part of measures to address rising living costs.

Khalid told reporters today it does not make sense for the government to discuss solutions to a problem of its own creation through the removal of subsidies.

"You create the problem, you form a committee to handle the problem you created, headed by a person who is a part of the cabinet.

"So it just looks like an act," the Shah Alam MP said after a protest against price hikes held outside the Kampung Baru mosque following Friday prayers this afternoon.
