During the tabling of the 2013 Budget, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had announced the standardisation of prices of subsidised goods in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan with Peninsular Malaysia.

Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism deputy minister Datuk Rohani Abdul Karim said the standardisation would start in January next year.

"The government will bear the cost of sending the products so that more will be available to the rural residents. The standardisation programme under the 2013 Budget is a move to tackle the problem of rising cost of living and the cost of basic necessities which are much higher than in the peninsula," she told reporters here today.
