Ramly Burger Price Increase: Here's Why Your Favourite Patty Will Cost More (Starting July 7th)
KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 – Get ready to feel the pinch! Malaysians, brace yourselves as the price of your beloved Ramly Burger patties is set to increase starting July 7th. But before you start blaming the expanded Sales and Service Tax (SST), there's a crucial clarification to be made: this price hike isn't directly linked to the SST expansion.
The news, which has sparked groans and disappointment across the nation, stems from rising costs of raw materials. Ramly Food Processing Sdn Bhd, the company behind the iconic burger patties, confirmed the price adjustment in a statement. While they didn't disclose the exact percentage increase, it's expected to impact the overall price of Ramly Burgers sold at various stalls and restaurants nationwide.
Why the Price Hike?
The primary culprit behind this increase is the escalating cost of essential raw materials. Factors like fluctuations in global commodity prices, supply chain disruptions, and increased transportation costs have all contributed to a squeeze on Ramly's production expenses. The company has absorbed these costs for as long as possible, but ultimately, a price adjustment has become unavoidable to maintain operational sustainability.
SST Expansion: Not the Reason
It's important to note that the recent expansion of the SST is not the direct cause of this price increase. Ramly has clarified that the price adjustment is solely due to the aforementioned raw material cost pressures. This distinction is crucial to avoid misinformation and ensure clarity for consumers.
What Does This Mean for Ramly Burger Lovers?
Expect to see a slight increase in the price of your favourite Ramly Burger at your local stalls. While the exact amount may vary depending on the vendor, it’s likely to be a noticeable change. Many stall owners are already anticipating the price adjustment and preparing to update their menus accordingly.
A National Phenomenon
This isn't an isolated incident. Many food businesses across Malaysia are facing similar challenges due to rising operational costs. Consumers are increasingly feeling the impact of inflation, and this price hike serves as a stark reminder of the current economic climate.
