Last week, we was with a couple of friends as well as a review entered around a cost of things in Malaysia. The usual grouse was things have been expensive. Cars have been expensive, motor fuel is expensive, cigarettes have been expensive, beer is expensive, houses have been expensive, etc, etc. My friends who run businesses complained which a salaries have been expensive. we can assimilate people complain about a cost of stuff. Nobody wants to pay tall prices.
If we have climbed Mount Kinabalu, we would have learnt which a can of Coke costs RM 8 during Laban Rata. In Kota Kinabalu, a same can of Coke costs RM 1.50. Do we know why?
Many west African countries furnish as well as export cocoa. But tall peculiarity chocolates have been costly in those countries compared to a prices in Europe. Do we know why?
The prices of houses in Japan, generally in civic area, have been ridiculously costly probably 10 times a prices in Malaysia. Do we know why?
A plate of nice crunchy pisang goreng (8 pieces) in Nabawan (in a interior of Sabah) costs only RM 1. The same plate costs RM 2 in Kota Kinabalu. It cost about RM 3 in KL. Do we know why?
Many things have been cheap in India. However a hotel room rates in large cities in India have been damn expensive. A room which costs RM 200 in KL will easily cost RM 700 in Delhi or RM 1000 in Mumbai. Do we know why? !
Complaints over a cost of products as well as services have been usual all over a world. Every singular country we have visited, a locals have a same complaints - which prices of products have been high. Singaporeans, Australians, Indians, Nepalis, Bangladeshis, Thais, Italians, British, Dutch, Indonesians, Americans, Vietnamese, etc. everybody has a same complaints[note :Singaporeans have been a greatest whiners].
This is not brand new people have complained about tall prices for generations. In fact, complains over taking flight prices have been really usual all over a universe in a past - including in Europe as well as a US. People in Europe have even rioted over a price of drama ticketsand a price of beer.
I consider it is critical which we try to really assimilate because things cost what they cost. A thousand as well as one things start a cost of products as well as services. The cost of labour, a cost of transportation, a cost of tender materials, taxes as well as duties, supervision policies, social engineering measures, demand, supply, weather as well as of course, hurtful practices as well as profiteering. [Cutting hurtful practices as well as mending efficiency will of course assistance lower costs - but try revelation a Singaporeans about this].
But finish of a day, it is we as well as we (who collectively determine price! s throug h a demand for products as well as services viz a accessibility of such products as well as services.
Simply blaming policies, in isolation companies, Singaporeans, weather, a Olympic games, etc, etc won't assistance bring prices down. Before we censure others for things being cheaper or costlier in some places, we need to do a task thoroughly.
Otherwise, we could finish up implementing wrong policies or measures simply because some hare-brained statesman wants to win votes. [anyone who claims "kalau saya jadi PM, harga barang turun" is simply dubious a people]. The supervision may be means to means prices of a couple of products go down in a short-term but can never beat a market forces in a long-term.
I don't have good answers for a time being. Now, what's a cost of nasi lemak in London again?
Monyet King also says
I met someone who whined as well as whined which Jimmy Choo's shoes have been costly as well as she could not means them. She thought which Jimmy Choo should reduce a cost of his shoes to have them affordable to people similar to her. we wanted to slap her badly. If we understood economics, we would want to slap her too.
Kalau Monyet King jadi PM, harga pisang akan turun
