For the owner of a cafe in Kuala Lumpur famous for its fried chicken and butter cake (requiring many eggs), it is the egg. Although the cost has increased, the cafe owner didn’t raise the price of his fried chicken as he didn’t want to “rock the boat”. In an earlier study, What Worries Malaysian Businesses, 100 days after the Pakatan government came into power, businesses were expecting a robust economic performance. As it is for the cafe owner, the number one worry among Malaysian businesses was the possibility of a local economic slowdown. For the cafe owner, what he wants is for the price of eggs and other food items to go down as promised by Pakatan politicians.
