RM10 for mix rice - varsity students hit by price hikes

The country’s rising inflation is hurting students as cafeterias and cooperative shops in universities raise prices and sell goods above the current market prices, said a coalition of student groups.

The groups said a plate of mixed rice with vegetables and chicken could cost up to RM10, while a bar of soap in a cooperative store was priced at RM6, although it cost only half of that off-campus.
