Prices at food outlets still high despite drop in cost of raw ingredients, says Rafizi


KUALA TERENGGANU: Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has denounced the attitude of certain restaurant and food stall operators who still refuse to lower their prices despite the falling cost of raw ingredients.

He said it was vital for these businesses to cooperate in bringing down their prices in line with those of the ingredients in order to help improve the people’s spending power and ease their financial burden.
