PORTAL DISPLAYING SUPERMARKET PRICES LAUNCHED

PUTRAJAYA, March 14 (Bernama) -- Consumers can now compare supermarket and
hypermarket prices in Malaysia by clicking on the SmartPengguna.my portal.

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Shahrir Abdul Samad said
supermarkets and hypermarkets were encouraged to post their prices on the
portal.

Consumers can give feedbacks should the prices displayed are different from
the actual ones, he told reporters after launching the portal here Friday.

Developed by Zenito Global Sdn Bhd, he said the portal would inculcate
transparency and a healthy competition among supermarkets and hypermarkets.

Zenito Global chief executive officer Adam Breimo said so far five
supermarkets and hypermarkets in the Klang Valley -- Mydin, Tesco, Giant, Jusco
and Carrefour - had joined the portal.

He said the portal would be expanded into the hospitality industry and small
and medium enterprises within three to five months.
