You want a good laugh? Read this headline news:Minister: Prices of many goods have become cheaper
Hypermarkets, supermarkets and shops have been urged to display the low prices of their goods to attract customers, said Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shafie Apdal.
“Highlight the low prices to tell customers that many items in your shop are cheap,'' he said.
While the prices of some goods such as flour could have increased, Shafie said the prices of many other goods have become cheaper.
He said more low-price campaigns would be launched with six hypermarkets and a supermarket soon, to inform consumers that the prices of goods had fallen.
From January to April, the ministry received 13,400 complaints from consumers over price, quality of goods and other matters, with 9,000 of the cases solved.
Anyone can tell me which product prices at hypermarket and supermarket had come down? For what I know, even tissue paper prices had gone up. Almost all, if not all, essential items and food stuffs had gone up. Well, Shafie should say salaries had also gone up....

It would appear that the minister is desperate to show that he is doing something to contain inflation. But the lower prices at the hypermarkets are th result of competition and not because of his efforts. What about the prices of items like Milo, cereals, etc. that have really shot through the skies?
haha! ls read this too!

Why don't they just make cars cheaper so that we have more money to pay the toll operators??
Who Do You Think You're Kidding, Mr. Hitler (Dad's Army Theme)
Who do you think you're kidding Mr Hitler,
If you think we're on the run?
We are the boys who will stop your little game,
We are the boys who will make you think again.
'Cos who do you think you're kidding Mr Hitler,
If you think old England's done?
Mr Brown goes off to town
On the 8:21,
But he comes home each evening
And he's ready with his gun.
So watch out Mr Hitler.
You've met your match in us.
If you think you'll push us.
We're afraid you've missed the bus.

THIS SHOULD BE ADAPTED AS THE THEME SONG OF MALAYSIAN BLOGGERS, eg replacing Hitler with BN and England with Malaysia
The Minister of Spinning and his entourage should visit the supermarket at Wisma Great Eastern (P2 floor), Jalan Ampang, KL and check the prices. Look at the vege prices, and all the other inflated prices.
You'd probably think the veges must be grown in the north pole.

Yeah, change the Ministry's name to....Ministry of Inflation and Suffering
i guess the ministry department had no idea what they are talking about. go and check around before make a comment.
The obvious cheaper is the quality of the ministers. It has becomes so cheap that any member of the public could be a better choice.
If the ministers eat roti canai every morning because they cannot afford anything else, they would understand. Otherwise, they are spouting gibberish from their mouth. They don't feel the pain of the man-on-the-street.
