A video of Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob chairing a meeting on cost-of-living woes inadvertently drew attention to the luxuries enjoyed by top government officials.

The 26-second clip depicted Ismail Sabri chairing a National Action Council on Cost of Living meeting on Jan 31.

According to the caption, the council decided to reduce the maximum retail price of chicken by 20 sen to RM8.90 and maintain the price of eggs.

The pricing will be fixed from Feb 5 to June 5.

This video, uploaded on the Prime Minister's Office's social media accounts, showed that meeting participants were served 500ml bottles of Evian.
