Price Hike

Wow, almost everything has increased starting this month.

The (char siew, roast duck, chicken rice) shop that i usually patronised has raised their prices from $2 to $2.50 Gone are the $1.90 Nasi Lemak price. The only silver lining was the price of Yong Tau Foo remains the same.

Everything seems to have gone up, rental, NETS transaction, food, stamps, cable TV .............together with the government's GST
The noodle shop, Yong Huat (opposite the building) lamented of the balloning cost showing me his shop rental receipt earlier. Aiya, no wonder nowadays he gives only 2 fishballs instead of 3

Another interesting MacDonald's advertisment shows the woman selling tissue asking the patron to pay more eg $1.20 for a pack of tissue.
Like housing, if supply is less than demand then the prices will go up esp in the resale market.

Most business people that i spoke to complain of the high cost of doing business.
It's the landlord's (owner) world now. sigh
