Where Are The Fair Price Shops In Wangsa Maju?

Dear All

I am trying to compile a list of Fair Price shops in Wangsa Maju and I desperately need your help. This is because since the last price increase of petrol/diesel, most things have gone up by at least 30 to 40 per cent, including daily needs such as food.


Today, the price of fuel has dropped below USD72 per barrel, which undoubtedly will reduce further the pump price of petrol. Now it is already as RM2.30 (a drop of 40 sen from the RM2.70 which constitutes to a 15 % drop). While some shops are reducing, others still maintain the pre-RM2.70 petrol price kind of pricing. Others, a few unscrupulous ones, have even upped it discreetly in anticipation of the bad economy ahead next year.

As a resident in the Wangsa Maju constituency, I hope this website to be of service in critical times like these. But I need your assistance too, especially students of TAR College (and UTAR) living around here.

Tell me where the cheap/fair price makan shops, food stalls, grocery outlets, photostat shops, and other services you come in daily contact with. You are the best judge as you compare notes with your colleagues and if you can find some time to help me compile a list of fair price shops, I will list them all here for the benefit of everyone.

We live in one big village called Wangsa Maju and let's help each other to tide over hard times like these. Post your recommended shop below and if you can, say why. Shopkeepers in Wangsa Maju are also welcomed to feed this post. Our readers will judge whether you are fair priced or not if you are listed.

Remember last time the Bata shoe mega discount near Prima there? I think that's the cheapest shoes I ever bought so far.... but dunno when they'll be coming back again.

For daily groceries, Carrefour & Giant are selling cheaper than Jusco, but from my experience, Giant stuffs may not be in good shape though.

Cheap food, I guess I would say around TBR. Desa Stpk is still OK, though a little more expensive than TBR, but at least the food taste better, so says the students.


P/S: If you ask the MP blog to link you up, I think they'll be more traffic coming in here. Why not leave a few msg on his blog to boost the site traffic?

Pasaraya Ong Tai Kim! They sell cheap veges and fresg too. Provided you go in the mornings. Jusco Wangsa Maju too. Sometimes a bunch of sawi sells for 99 sen at the latter, cheaper than Pasar Tani at Danau Kota. In fact, I stopped going to Pasar Tani already. What used to be three bunches of veges for RM1 now go for RM2 after oil hike. I have feeling they are taking us for a ride at the farmer market.
