GEORGE TOWN: One of the oldest nasi kandar restaurants in the country has ceased to serve its meals at RM5 under Menu Rahmah after the cost of ingredients becomes “unbearable”. Hameediyah Restaurant director Muhammad Riyaaz Syed Ibrahim said it had to stop serving Menu Rahmah last month.

Two chicken traders in Perlis, Mohammad Hafiz Zamri, 21, and Mardiana Mohd, 37, agreed that the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry needs to continue monitoring to ensure that no traders take advantage of excessive prices. "The effect of ceasing the subsidy will not be felt in the near term but if there is a price increase, it may not reach more than RM10 for one kg," he said.
