GEORGE TOWN: With the rising cost of living, Latty Syazwani Ismail has been restricted to home-cooked meals these days.
“Having to stretch the ringgit, eating out has become rare and a luxury. A plate of fried rice can be RM8, which is too much to spend on one meal.
“As buying a whole chicken has become too expensive, we opt for fish and other meat. Before, a kg of chicken was only priced between RM5.90 and RM7.90. But it costs about RM11 per kg now. It’s the same for baby formula,” she added.
