“We will give the vendors until March to empty their stalls.”
He added that this particular stall has disrupted other vendors and has cast a bad light on the food court, stating that although the cost of living has increased, they shouldn’t be using this as a justification for unreasonable price increases.
"When incidents like this occur, they cast a shadow over other food vendors in Port Dickson.
“According to my observations, the food prices in Port Dickson are still fair, and it only affects a small fraction of sellers,” he claimed.
On Tuesday (24 January), a customer shared a photo of the receipt on his Facebook.
After food and drink costs were included, the bill came to a whopping RM102 for only 4 people…
Wah, that’s like spending RM50 per person for nasi campur!
