Analyst: Protests not the answer to resolve price hike issue


KUALA LUMPUR: The people need to give space, time and cooperation to the government, which is working to address the issue of rising prices of goods and the cost of living through various interventions to reduce the impact on the public, says an analyst.

Universiti Teknologi Mara School of Media and Information Warfare Studies’ security and political analyst Dr Noor Nirwandy Mat Noordin said the people should not do anything that could disrupt the government’s efforts, such as organising demonstrations, because it would not solve the problem.
