Rice price hike

Last week went shopping with my mom in Giant, I was suprised the price of rice has gone up from RM4-Rm20, depending on brands. Since there is still a lot of rice there, we didn't buy any cause it's expensive. Then when we went to Jusco, the place where they put the sacks of rice to sell was nearly empty! We asked a staff and she said starting tomorrow, the price of rice will raise according to the stickers on the rice bags. We compare the prices on the stickers and the price tags, it was a stagering different of RM10++! So we bought 2 sack of rice, the max amount limited to each customer.

Many of us who didn't buy rice wouldn't know that the price of rice has increased by so much. Although the supply of rice is sufficient, nobody says about a price hike, did they? It's expected since the price of rice outside Malaysia nearly doubled but it only rised 1.5x here. Luckily the price of Nasi Campur or Nasi Lemak didn't rise... yet.

On the other hand, we are very fortunate compared to China and Myanmar which are suffering from earthquakes and tornados. Thousands die or starving to death, while we only suffers money lost.
