Eateries feeling the heat


Going purple: Under new rules, restaurants have to phase out the use of household gas cylinders. — MUHAMAD SHAHRIL ROSLI/The Star

PETALING JAYA: As of May 1, all eateries, including hawker stalls, have been barred from using household subsidised gas cylinders.

Instead, they have to use new purple 14kg commercial gas cylinders, which cost RM70 – almost three times the price of household subsidised gas cylinders, which are sold at just RM26.
