PUTRAJAYA: In a move to stave off price increases and to bring essential goods direct to low and middle-income consumers, the Government has launched the 1Malaysia Mobile Market (PB1M).

The mobile market comes in the form of a modified 16-tonne bus, which will operate in low-cost housing areas and selected community centres.

A media statement said the PB1M would sell retail goods, controlled items, products of local small and medium entrepreneurs and pre-packed fresh goods at competitive prices.
