Charged more at my regular kopitiam


I NORMALLY go to the kopitiam near my home for breakfast and yesterday morning was no exception. The only difference was that I had to pay the 6% GST (Goods and Services Tax). I am not complaining about the GST and I have been supportive of it all the while.

Before it was implemented, the charge at this kopitiam was 20 sen less for the items that would amount to only RM8.80. Based on the old price with the 6% GST, the total amount should be RM9.32.
