Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Saifuddin Nasution said his ministry is reviewing the Kedai Rakyat 1Malaysia (KR1M 2.0) project and would determine whether the project should be continued - with a rebranding if necessary.
"There are 52 shops operating under KR1M 2.0 and though still operating, most of the operators have taken down the KR1M signboards," he said.
"I will decide on this in the near future, after I get a full report," he added.
It was reported that the previous BN administration targeted the setting up of 3,000 KR1M outlets this year. These shops basically focus on four essential items: rice, sugar, cooking oil and flour, which would be sold at cheaper rates than the market prices.
