Inflation jumps to 27-year high!

Malaysia's inflation rate jumps to a 27-year high of 8.5 percent in August driven by escalating cost of food and fuel.

Cost of food & non-alcoholic drinks rose to 11.7 percent! Transport rose to 21.8% while restaurants and hotels - 6.5%! Inflation is expected to rise further although the government cut petrol & diesel prices by a mere 10 sen.

The effects of the June fuel hike of a whopping 41% brought cost of food, transportation and other items to skyrocket which would seem to be irreversible. Anyway, the harm was done, no thanks to the PM.

  2. Prices of food will never go down. These unscrupulous business people will take all the advantage to increase their earnings.

    the government needs to monitor and regulate the prices to concur with the real market.

    Food is our essential needs!

  3. This is the price that we all have to pay for electing an incompetent Government. We clearly made the mistake, and therefore we suffer.

    Bodohlah Bodoh Bodohwi (Bodoh x3) is not resigning, the rakyat MUST unite to oust him now!

    Only those who have the guts, willing to sacrifice themselves and champion the very best interest of Sabah deserve the support of Sabahan!

  4. to under budget,
    your situation is just similar to mine. tough life to be when our money is getting less and less value.
    Nasi Ayam in Sabah KK now is RM4.50
    Kopi-O some still RM1.00 but others naik to RM1.20.
    If you want to eat at the more popular outlets. Cha Sau, Ayam, Sau Nyuk (Non-halal) with Rice is RM5.50 to RM6.00 per plate!

    THese are all local food.

  6. The recent decrease in fuel prices by 10 sen is just peanuts compared to the 87 sen increase in June.

    Even though the govt said, it could ease our budget, saying is easy. come on, don't talk stupid.

    The big problem is our food prices now, caused by fuel hike. What the government should do is to initiate what actions to be done to control or lower our local food prices.
