2012 : Hawkers Raise Prices Yet Again

There is absolutely no justification for the price increase,yet here we go again.
They're all a bunch of shortchanging hoodlums.
Is it not obvious to see?

So here,I give you an imaginary list of reasons taken from an imaginary press statement issued by their imaginary hawker association head named Lala Lee Tham Pom
  1. Protection money went up due to 04 and 08 triads on a collision course with each other
  2. BR1M  RM$500 benefits dished out to the hardcore poor,with Astro subscriptions,staying in lowcost flats,driving Harriers and other large cars.
  3. Since most peoples salaries only last till the 15th,they need to compensate for swatting flies over the next 15 days
  4. Overgambled,overbetted and overlost during CNY.Due to Overowe what is overdue,hence the need to overcharge
  5. Got war in Syria,onions and potatoes from Pakistan,more expensive cos got to be rerouted via another channel,i.e.Himalaya-Tibet-Afghanistan-Paris-China-Hongkong-Taiwan before reaching Malaysia using Russian submarine
  6. Anson Wong come out already,not enough animals cos he take everything and put them in his check in baggage
  7. Second Link bridge toll rumoured to cost RM$25 .Putting aside for a rainy day mah you sucker.
  8. Landed property prices went up due to 10% gain tax.Someone gotta pay for my speculative ventures
  9. End of the world coming.Must Fah Chai more so can buy better position in Blissful Memorial Park
One plate of Oh Chien is up by $1

Almost every other hawker dish has gone up by 50 sen

Now,instead of having enough to spend for 15 days,it'll only last us 10 days before we all start buying maggi mee.
