Student reports economy rice stall for steep prices
A REPORT by a university student in Perak, who was charged RM18 for a plate of economy rice, led to authorities taking action against the stall, Sin Chew Daily reported.
The local student was shocked when he was charged RM18 for a plate of rice with potato, broccoli and some meat at a stall in Tanjong Malim last month.
When asked the reason for the price, the stall owner explained that he had taken a large portion of pork belly, which cost RM10.
The remaining RM8 was made up of RM3 each for potato and broccoli, and RM2 for rice.
The student lodged a report with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry on May 31 and an investigation was launched on June 3.
The student told the daily that he received a letter from the ministry on June 17, concluding that the stall had violated provisions in the Price Control and Anti-Profiteering Act 2011 and was told that action had since been taken against the stall.
