Don’t raise prices of rice dishes, eateries advised


Tong says the price increase in rice dishes will only burden customers.

EATERIES in Sibu, Sarawak, have been urged not to increase the prices of their rice dishes following the 36% hike in the price of imported rice.

“I urge all food outlets here to not quickly raise the price of their rice dishes just because of the dearer imported rice,” said Sibu Coffee Shop and Restaurant Owner Association chairman Tong Ing Kok.
