WHY FLOUR PRICE IS INCREASING???

We all know Malaysian government had increased the flour price today up to 10-30 cent per kilogram. If you wondering why this price is increasing,
here is some answer that might cool you down...

Beginning of this year, many wheat field had decreased their production because of the bad weather such as drought in Europe and Australia. The demand for bio-fuel in Europe also the contribute factor for the price raise. This contribute to low flour production and the price had increased up to 70%...

The price is increasing from US$235 per tonne before September to US$400 now. The current flour price in Malaysia is between RM1.35 to RM1.50.

So, the flour price raise is nothing to do with CONSPIRACY...

The GOOD news is the price raise would not be for long as the drought in Australia end as said by Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal. So, don't worry...

So, the point here is...before you complaint..make sure you not what happen... We all know this world had almost reach the end of the day...so, is not a weird thing about shortage of our need nowadays...:)

Advice from me, try to eat less food from wheat as there are imported stuff...and eat something LOCAL...eat more RICE... :)

Try not to eat ROTI CANAI, BREAD, and other flour products for a few month..this can help to pressurized the bread and flour industry all over the world as the flour demand lesser but the flour production keep increasing... :)

So, whatever you do...DON'T BLAME OUR GOVERNMENT... unless you have prove..be WISE..

Cockroach in Hi-5 bread???

From NEWS STRAITS TIMES 6 OKTOBER 2007


SEREMBAN: A construction supervisor and his wife nearly had a little "extra protein" in their sandwiches on Thursday. Mohd Rafi Mohd Kamal found a dead cockroach in a loaf of bread he bought from a grocery shop near his Seremban 2 home.

"I didn't notice anything wrong with the bread until I got to the last few slices. I found a dead cockroach sandwiched between them," said the 31-year-old.

He says his wife Shukrina Abdullah fell ill after eating a few slices from the same end of the loaf where the cockroach was found. "She was vomiting and had diarrhoea.

The doctor said it might have been caused by the contaminated bread," said Rafi, adding that he noticed a few spots of mould on the bread even though the expiry date on the label was Oct 6.

Shukrina lodged a police report on the same day but Rafi said when he contacted the manufacturer, the company tried to brush off his complaint. "They asked me to send the bread to them so they could conduct tests and investigate the matter. "I declined because I want the tests to be done by a neutral body," he said.

He lodged a report and submitted the bread to the Negri Sembilan health department for testing yesterday. "My next move depends on the test results," he said.

The manufacturer' s Nilai facility was temporarily closed down last year because it was unhygienic, and the company was employing illegal workers as well as using cooking oil without a halal certification.
