price hike

I have been in watch for the prices soar since the petrol price hike. The prices of commodities have indeed increased... in scarily higher price! The petrol price increase itself came up to 40%. The fish that I used to buy for 3RM is now 7RM. It is shocking! We have been warned a few months back about the rice crisis. Now I know that it's not the crisis in rice, but the cost increase crisis it would be incurred since there was going to be petrol price hike. Nowhere you can go now that there's no increase in price except the life insurance rates. Thank God we can still afford something and be insured too.
