PETALING JAYA: More than 2.2 million people have signed up for the Cooking Oil Price Stabilisation Scheme System (eCOSS) app which allows Malaysians to buy the 1kg subsidised packet cooking oil. The eCOSS system records all sales of the subsidised cooking oil from manufacturers and packers, to wholesalers and retail level transactions. “This high adoption rate, supported by over 5,000 participating retailers and supermarkets, ensures that subsidised oil is readily available and monitored effectively across the market. “Yesterday alone, almost 359,000 packets of subsidised cooking oil were bought using the mobile application. There have been leakages and hoarding of cooking oil, especially subsidised cooking oil in packets, due to the absence of a system to track sales.
