I think that after the oil price raise, lots of companies are raising their prices in a ridiculous way.
What percentage is the petrol raise in their costprice? Probably no more than a few %.
(Transport exempted)
Than I do not see the logic in raising chicken by 30%, taxi fares by 3-5 RM illegaly (in the city), foodstuff like vegetables up by 30-40% on local pasar.
Potatoes from 1.50 to 2.50 well i can go on.
Government takes no action anywhere (as usual) laws are a joke, if not enforced, just scrap them, this is ridiculous!
Everybody has to tighten the belt except the government and GLC directors.
