Hawkers left with ‘no choice’ but to review prices


GEORGE TOWN: The increase in the price of raw ingredients during the festive season has put hawkers in a fix as they now have to temporarily raise the price of their dishes.

Hawker Muhammad Syafiq Mohd Shariff, 33, who runs a stall selling pasembur, mee goreng and mee rebus, said he had to paste the new prices over the original price display at his stall three days ago to inform his customers of the price change.
