As this month marks the holy month for Muslim to fast, a section of Muslim leaders have urged the government to reduce the cost of food.

Currently, the food prices have gone high and most people cannot afford it at a good price.

However, most Muslims take dates as they open their fasting. Most dates are usually imported and the leaders have also asked the government to reduce the importation tax.

Dates have a number of benefits to help them open fasting. As most Muslims currently are fasting, most of them only work for half a day. This means that most of them cannot meet their daily target if it is a business.

However, those that used to work up to late at night could just open their work until 5 in the evening.

The government is yet to respond to their wish.
