Kampua Mee increases again !

Look carefully....

Another store just opposite to the above store...btw...kolok mee also increased...


1997 - a plate is RM1.80
2007 - a plate is RM2.20
mid 2008 - a plate is RM2.80 (now is RM3.00)....it is a 67% increase over the last 11 years (average 6% annually) and it is not stopping..

So, it this trend continues...a straight line basis...every 10 years, we can expect RM1.80 increase...so by 2038 (the day we reach 57 years old)..it shall be RM6.60 per plate ! May be this is still okay...as we could probably be richer by that time...with EPF funds...hehehe...but then again...how about when fresh graduates are still only earning RM2,000 per month for starter ??? Can they survived ??

You are lucky...still the same better than those have pay cut or underpaid !

But I believe, adjustment is due for you. Temporary stationing is also a way of providing the effect of same pay though at the expense of hardship in foreign place...

Guys,

One question for you all.

Assuming that the price for petrol is going to decrease in September, will the price for Kolo mee decrease accordingly?

mygreatbuds said...

Of course not ! These hawkers will always make ways to increase. They will say other things...had increase too

Unfortunately, you are using "if" in your sentence.

So, I got no feeling of you are trying to say. It is something that is not going to be materialised.
