KUALA LUMPUR: For many B40 families, preparations for Hari Raya will be minimal. Biscuits and clothes for the children are a priority, but not curtains or sprucing up the home.
Norlia Che Ros, 64, who lives in a low-cost flat, said Hari Raya for her had never been about buying new things but more about the food.
Norbaizura, who sells roti john on the ground floor of PPR Intan Putri, said, “Ingredients are costly, especially chicken and eggs. I have had to increase the price of roti john by RM1. I also have to make do with Grade A eggs, instead of Grade AA.”“In previous years, I would have received catering orders for Raya open houses by now. None have come in this year,” she said.
“My wife and I can wear last year’s outfits. I have not thought about any other preparations,” said Rafail.
