GE15: Voters want new govt to focus on economic, cost of living issues

KUALA LUMPUR: Noor Azuki Fahme Ismail only has one wish for the upcoming general election - the voting in of a government that can address the rising cost of living effectively.

The 34-year-old public-sector employee has a monthly household income of RM5,200, which places him in the M40 medium-income category. His family may be small - he and his wife have a child who is seven months old - but they lead a hand-to-mouth existence as they can barely cope with the expenses of living in the city.
