Wife said roti canai now costs RM2...an increase of 50cents. What a load of bullcraps.
At this rate, we will be selling roti canai at English or Australian restaurant price in no time.
As usual cakap tak serupa bikin..

The Star reports that the subsidy was removed effective today bringing up the price for 25kg bags of wheat flour from RM33.75 to RM42.
However, The Star report does not state why the subsidy was removed.
Malaysian Indian Restaurant Owner's Association honorary chairperson R Ramalingam Pillai said members will not increase the price of roti canai following the abolishment of the subsidy.

“It’s just a few sen, so it can be absorbed. Traders must not exploit the situation as the increase is nominal compared with price per kilogramme of flour.”

It is puzzling when the government is accused of financial scandals to the tune of billions of dollars, but cannot even maintain the subsidy on wheat flour, one of the main household ingredients for any family that cooks, be they Malays, Chinese or Indians.
The government should be ashamed to take away the subsidy at a time when cost of living has increased tremendously with the introduction of Goods and Service Tax as well as toll rate hikes.
But then again, we have a Cabinet with clownish ministers such as Datuk Ahmad Maslan who demonstrated how to cook GST-free fried rice. Or cooking a big pot of rice without fire.
The rakyat are now eating well, and not hungry yet, but when hunger starts to bite, the government will pay for it big time. And it all started because the government took away an essential food subsidy. -
