Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob should dissolve the special task force on jihad against inflation for failing to curb rising prices, said former finance minister Lim Guan Eng.

He described the task force, headed by Communications and Multimedia Minister Annuar Musa, as “ineffective, incompetent, and irrelevant.”

The DAP chairperson launched the scathing salvo following Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) decision to raise its overnight policy rate (OPR) for the third time in a row this year, principally to stem inflation.
