Malaysians must learn to be smart consumers


THE cost of living is currently a hotly debated issue and for some of the groups involved, the present situation is entirely due to the Govern­ment, citing certain policies as being insensitive and bringing more harm than good to the rakyat.

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) continues to be the whipping boy for the rise in prices, especially of food, although there is a myriad of external issues aggravating the matter, including the fall in the value of ringgit which has caused our imports to become more costly.
