DESPITE the cost of Malaysia’s ubiquitous roti canai costing up to RM2 or more in certain places, a food operator in Kulim, Kedah, is continuing to sell this Malaysian staple alongside mini-murtabak at only RM1 per piece.
Mohd Ghazali Hussin, 53, said he kept the price of his items the same since entering the business 22 years ago, Utusan Malaysia reported.
“This is also my way of participating in the Menu Rahmah initiative,” he said, adding that his store opened as early as 7am and was frequented by those looking for breakfast or takeaways.
Rising costs also caused him to feel the pinch, but Mohd Ghazali said this does not really burden him.
“There is no compromise in quality, although I am selling roti canai at RM1. I am still using the same ingredients and making them in the same size,” he said.
