The reality of Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia’s (KR1M) products is far from the
“outrageous” claims of them being up to 50 percent cheaper than in other
markets.
Saying this today, Pakatan Rakyat MPs - who had lugged samples of grocery products to Parliament to prove their point - said that while some products in the KR1M shops were indeed cheaper but they were not as cheap as touted. Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak mooted the idea of setting up KR1M in June to tackle the escalating cost of living, and introduced 250 ‘1Malaysia’ products that were claimed to be 40 percent cheaper than other sundries in the market.

DAP’s national publicity chief Tony Pua (left) told a press conference, “The
price differential is far less than the claims of 30 to 50 percent for
most products. A shopping trip to a local
hypermarket such as Carrefour, buying products from condensed creamer to
canned sardines to dishwashing liquid, will immediately show that the
truth is far from the outrageous claims made by the domestic trade,
cooperatives and consumerism minister and the prime minister.”
Pua said, “For a 1 litre bottle of 1Malaysia bleach, KR1M will charge you RM1.90, claiming huge savings of 36 percent. However, one can easily purchase 1 litre of Carrefour or Tesco branded
bleach for only RM1.29 or a massive 47 percent cheaper than KR1M.”
Saya hanya sokong dan beli barangan buatan Malaysia yang tak berlabel 1Malaysia!
