I WAS on my usual weekend hawker rounds in PJ last week, when an elegant lady approached me.

I am so glad to see you at places where ordinary people gather – check out the prices: everything is up; not just among hawkers but also in wet markets, among fish-mongers & chicken sellers, as well as in supermarkets and street vendors.
