Thursday, January 14, 2010 (via the star online)

CONSUMERS have to pay an extra 10% for grocery items and food this year, reported Sin Chew Daily.

They have also been asked to be prepared for another round of price increase after the Chinese New Year.

Federation of Sundry Goods Merchants Associations of Malaysia president Lean Hing Chuan said Chinese New Year delicacies like preserved meat would also see an increase by at least 10%.

Federation of Malaysia Hawkers Association president Lee Teong Chwee said prices for hawker food should remain the same now but he did not rule out the possibility that it too could increase if there was a hike in toll prices and electricity and gas charges.

... sighhhh... double sighhhhh... sighfrustrated

Now, if only I could eat grass, wood, sticks and stones...
