On Twitter, a netizen posted a train hitting a bus meme, in place of the bus representing minimum wage and the train representing cost goods rising. The rising costs of items regardless whether they are food or other essentials are currently common world wide.
The netizen later went on saying that he’s glad that Maggi hasn’t increased their prices yet and that it’s still affordable. Another netizen mentioned that the rising costs are due to less customers buying their goods, which in fact has a roundabout effect.
Some were also saying that basic necessities like bread have also increased in price. Many have expressed their disappointment and sadness for this situation as they thought the minimum wage increment would help their situation more.
