Harapan candidate M Manogaran is flanked by Bersatu president and Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, and Deputy Economic Affairs Minister Mohd Radzi Md Jidin.
Meanwhile, BN candidate Ramli Mohd Nor is accompanied by Pahang Menteri Besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail and Umno Youth chief Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.
Muhyiddin and Wan Rosdy shake hands when they meet at a warung at the market.
The former later tells a breakfast crowd that the Harapan government is aware of the rising cost of living and is studying ways to address it.
“The prime minister (Dr Mahathir Mohamad) raised this at our cabinet meeting yesterday, he just returned from overseas but he was not thinking about anything else.
“He was thinking about how to help reduce the burden of the rakyat,” he says.
Muhyiddin adds that he has urged for the Bantuan Sara Hidup allocations, which are targeted at the B40 household income group, to be distributed as soon as possible. - Mkini
