MALAYSIA BOLEH Malaysia is making the correct move to reduce price in times of current recession..... http://www.soshiok.com/articles/11093 KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 7, 2008: Enjoy your usual roti canai and teh tarik at lower prices from Monday. A number of restaurants across the country are responding to the government's call to reduce food prices although they claimed that the cost of raw materials was still burning holes in their pockets. Roti canai, which costs between 90 sen and RM1.20, and teh tarik, which costs RM1.20 to RM1.40 per glass, will be cheaper by 10 sen each. The Malaysian Muslim Restaurant Owners Association president Jamarul Khan Kader said the association agreed to join in the price cut campaign as a goodwill gesture to the government. "We hope other retailers would follow suit in efforts to help the people," he said when contacted by phone yesterday. The decision was made after a meeting with Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry officers yesterday. Jamarul said the association's counterpart, the Malaysian Indian Restaurant Owners Association, would also participate in the campaign. Roti canai, which costs between 90 sen and RM1.20, and teh tarik, which costs RM1.20 to RM1.40 per glass, will be cheaper by 10 sen each. Nasi kandar will go down by 20 sen per plate, depending on the accompanying dishes. However, not all the restaurants under these associations would lower their prices. "We will distribute pamphlets and put up bunting to invite other retailers to reduce prices. "The impact will be greater for consumers if all restaurants reduce their food prices," Jamarul said. The association has 2,600 members. About 200 shops in Klang Valley will take part in the campaign to be launched by Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad at Syed Bistro in Bangsar. Jamarul said some restaurant operators were sticking to the current food prices as the cost of wheat flour, noodles and even plastic bags had gone up. He said 1kg noodles cost RM2.40 compared with RM1.80 previously. "Dhal (chickpeas) now costs a whopping RM3 per kg compared with only 80 sen. "The price of plastics has gone up by 50 per cent since the fuel hike and has never come down." Malaysian Indian Restaurant Owners Association president Datuk R. Ramalingam Pillai said prices of raw materials used to make food had shot up by 30 per cent. Restoran Mutiara Anggerik owner R. Ravindran said most of the restaurants would only reduce their prices if the materials used became cheaper. "Consumers are saying that we should bring down food prices because of the recent drop in fuel prices. What they don't know is that wheat flour costs RM45 for a sack of 25kg. "The fuel price may have gone down but other things have not followed suit for us to reduce food prices."
