## Controversies and issues

[edit]

### Comments on Menu Rahmah

[edit]

She delivered a speech in Parliament criticising the quality of the cheaper and more affordable food and beverages offered by the Menu Rahmah initiative, introduced by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Costs of Living. This initiative aimed to ease the economic and financial burden of low-income consumers. She claimed that the food and beverages would increase of risk of various medical conditions, including cancer and autism. Her speech has been controversial and received sharp criticism from the government and autism groups. She initially denied that her speech was linked to Menu Rahmah but subsequently apologised, stating that her speech had been misinterpreted.[2][3][4][5][6]
