enforcement officers have no bite

The enforcement officers have no bite to find the retailers on the prices increase. Every where even in the small towns the hawkers have naik harga. These hawkers know that no pegawai akan denda mereka kecuali menutup kedai kalau tempat is not hygienic for the public. But how many really are forced to close down? Lately in Kangar the enforcement officers said they have no authority to fine these hawkers for increasing the cost of their products. Even in my adopted town here, fried kueh teow has jumped to $1.90 previously $1.70 and chinese tea goes up to $0.40 previously $0.30. I think the government is dreaming that no price increases by the business people. It bounds to happen in every cost increase by the government. Go and explain to the people (PM ordered) Before he decided to increase petrol, he should be brave to ask the people and not afterwards when he finds himself losing his popularity....It will cost him in the next election.
