Why customer orders from food delivery app?
Clearly millenial's wasteful behaviour.
The app is rent seeking between customer and restaurant owner.
Minister barking up wrong tree.
He should reprimand food delivery company.

A PLATE of plain rice is estimated to cost only 38 sen, but a quick check on food delivery platforms revealed that certain restaurants had marked up the price to RM3.50 - or almost 300% higher.

Agriculture and Food Security Ministry Agricultural Industry Development Division secretary Datuk Azman Mahmood said he had discovered this when he had conducted a check on the Grab application on Friday (March 22), reported Berita Harian.

Taking into account that a 10kg pack of white rice retails at RM38, restaurant owners could easily serve up to 100 plates of rice to its patrons, he added.



Biz owners need to pay for workers, electric & water bills, shop rents And etc these must be taken into account when selling price of food.

mana Umno Youth? Please tell rakyat to boycott all restaurants selling rice above 40sen! Rice is more important than socks cos we eat rice everyday!

Depends. It is indeed kinda pricey when you consider that some Indian and Malay sellers are able to provide nasi lemak biasa at RM3-3.50 with sambal, full or half egg and nut/bilis. Of course, the location also dictate the rate for rental as well as workers' wage. I just hope that at the price they are selling, at least be generous with the portion.

Chinese sells 10 sen item for RM10.
They often quote inflation, recession, ringgit value up or down, oil price rising, supply shortage and myriad of economic reasons. There are two situations in economy, either up or down. However as far as price is concern, it is always one way street, upwards and never coming down. Whatever the economic condition is, price never comes down.
CONSUMERS must exercise their consumer rights, boycott if necessary.

Selling 10 sen item for RM 10. It sound like the old Bursa where people chase penny/worthless stocks to RM 10 or even RM 100
