Lately, life has been getting a little more miserable than usual. Every day we hear about prices rising and our bank accounts seem to be drained to almost nothing by the middle of the month. Even one job isn't enough for us and we have to take up multiple jobs just to support ourselves.
The worst part is that we know things are not going to get better. But sometimes it is better to know beforehand rather than suddenly come to find out about it.
So, a Twitter user, @ZietInvests, decided to give Malaysians a little heads up by informing us what price hikes are coming in July 2022.
