Consumers fret over increase in prices of wet goods

KUALA LUMPUR: The recent hike in the price of goods, especially wet goods, has affected consumers who are still reeling from the Covid-19 pandemic and are asking for action to be taken so that the increase will not spiral out of control.

A survey by Bernama at Pasar Datuk Keramat here found that the increase in the price of goods was around 10% to more than 50%, depending on the type of goods, and consumers interviewed hoped the increase would be only temporary.
