a whopping fine!

A food stall/restaurant owner fined a whopping $22,500/- for increasing his price for a glass milo to $1.80! This should send a strong signal to the stall owners or restaurant owners not to simply increase prices as they wish. The authority shouldnt just stop from there then old habits die off. It should be a continous affair throughout the country. In this way inflation will be kept in check currently around 2.3-3.0% as reported by BNM. There are already rumours of prices increase in milk or milk related products. The officers too should conduct checks in towns too. Here I found these stall owners too hike up prices as they wish. So with this heavy fine I hope these hawkers understand that it serves no purpose to be greedy...Of course the officers continue to monitor and act on complaints.....
