YAN: City folk’s constant worry is about stretching the ringgit, but the people of Sungai Limau are unperturbed – they find it still easy on their wallet to enjoy the town’s delicacies such as nasi lemak, teh tarik or laksa.

On the campaign trail, however, opposition politicians blast away about rising prices of fuel and sugar and how the Goods and Services Tax (GST), to be enforced in two years, will eat into the people’s savings.
