Food stall operators maintain cost of their fare despite drop in price of fuel

Prices stay put: Food stall operators are not reducing the price of food despite the drop in fuel price.

PETALING JAYA: Rises in fuel cost usually lead to higher cost of food in eateries but there has been no corresponding drop in the prices of food in restaurants, coffee shops and stalls in spite of the much lower prices of fuel today.

Operators are blaming this on suppliers charging the same rates while they in turn point their fingers at transporters.
