MELAKA: A welcome drop in mandarin orange prices ahead of the Lunar New Year has lifted festive spirits across the historic city, allowing more families to share in a tradition long associated with prosperity and goodwill, says Allex Seah Shoo Chin
The Melaka entrepreneur, cooperative development and consumer affairs committee chairman said the lower prices were largely driven by the strengthening ringgit, which recently reached a seven-year high against the US dollar.
