KUALA LUMPUR: Traditional Indian barbers have warned that prices of haircuts may rise from RM10 to RM30 or more if the government prohibits them from hiring foreign workers.

The Malaysian Indian Hair Dressing Salon Owners Association (Mindas) said the shortage of workers, on top of rising operation costs, may leave them no choice but to increase prices.
