The One With The AP(I) 

Nahh.. not Ayah Pin nor Rafidah's AP.. It is about Air Pollutant Index.. I've to commute to KLCC today due to some office thingy.. (normally i'll be @ site office somewhere around Cyberjaya).. apparently as of this morning the sky is slightly clearer.. although still bad, but at least better than yesterday i guess.. some buildings are still visible from LRT.. fewer people seen wearing mask.. yesterday, some of my colleagues even wore their mask inside the building.. heh..

as I jumped off the LRT, saw a guy loiterring around tunnel conjoining KLCC and LRT station, he went "RM2! RM2!" WTF? oh.. he was selling surgical mask.. making money with the current weather situation.. very business minded.. :D

I thought RM2 is already expensive enuff.. until I read Harian Metro ;

Edisi Nasional : Harga topeng naik

Oleh Manan Samad dan Mohd Sabran Md Sani

AMPANG: Segelintir farmasi, klinik dan peniaga di sekitar Lembah Klang dikesan mengambil kesempatan menaikkan harga topeng penapis jerebu hingga 30 peratus berikutan masalah jerebu yang semakin kronik sekarang.

Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM), Datuk Dr Maamor Osman, berkata pihaknya menerima aduan kegiatan itu berlaku di beberapa kawasan antaranya Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam, Ampang dan Keramat.

“Harga satu topeng yang sederhana mutunya selalu dijual beberapa sen saja. Tetapi kami terima aduan ada peniaga yang jual hingga lebih RM1, membabitkan kenaikan 30 peratus berbanding harga sebenar.

“Ini antara aduan yang kerap kami terima mengenai jerebu setakat ini. Satu lagi aduan ialah kesukaran mendapatkan stok topeng, daripada syarikat pengeluar,” katanya ketika ditemui di kliniknya di Taman Tasik Tambahan, di sini, semalam.

Dr Maamor berharap tiada peniaga yang menangguk di air keruh dengan mengambil kesempatan menaikkan harga topeng.
