Despite the weakened Malaysian ringgit against the Singapore dollar, Ramadan bazaar vendors in Johor Bahru (JB) will probably not raise food prices to profit from Singaporeans. Md Salleh Sadijo, chairman of the Johor Consumers Movement Association told The Star in a report on Wednesday (March 27) that traders are unlikely to take advantage of Singapore's stronger purchasing power with price.
JOHOR BARU: Despite the rising cost of living, some traders at Ramadan bazaars here have opted not to increase food prices for fear of losing customers.
JOHOR BARU: The impending hike in assessment in at least five of the 16 local councils in Johor is causing concern among consumers who are worried that they may have to pay more for food and goods.
JOHOR consumer groups are calling for the Federal Government to consider extending the Rumah Belia Madani (RBM) scheme, targeted at youths, to other parts of the country.
