The price increase was likely to be permanent but unlikely that ingredient costs would decrease. However, there are some hawkers that will not increase the prices because worried of losing their customers and business. Ang said adding 20% price increase was expected from food operators.
The textile prices had also gone up with manufacturers from China and India increasing price. The reason is production was affected by some factors such as bad weather.
"The government already helped out a lot in terms of subsidies.They are willing to accept the lesser profits we will earn," said Datuk Ang Say Tee.
What do I think about?
As a consumer,I will decrease the chances for having outdoors meals,since the price increase so much.But,increase the prices up to RM0.50 is too much.Hopefully the prices will decrease someday.
