Rice price hike affects students


Abstract

LETTERS: The shortage of supply and soaring prices of imported white rice have left consumers and vendors in a state of uncertainty.

The effects extend beyond the dining table, reaching into classrooms and impacting education. We believe the surge in the price of imported white rice to RM39 per 10 kilogramme is altering people's food-buying habits.

This has implications on students, especially those from the B40 group, who rely on local rice to sustain them.
