KOTA KINABALU: Coffeeshop operators should display prices of their food and beverages in view of growing complaints from the public about a sudden increase in their eating-out bills, says a local consumer group.

Sabah West Coast Smart Consumers Association president David Chan said many coffeeshops were not displaying prices, which should come under consumer price control laws."Regular patrons were surprised and confused by the sharp increases for a cuppa.

"They should not take advantage of the current price hike of various food items,” he said on Tuesday . Meanwhile, Sabah Progressive Party supreme council member Yong Yit Jee urged the state government to devise measures to control the high prices of pork. “In Sarawak, the retail price for pork belly is around RM26 to RM29 per kg while in Sabah it is around RM42 to RM45,” he said, adding that Sabah had already experienced at least five price hikes of pork products recently.
