Tali yang tiga lembar itu, tak suang-suang putus.
We like chicken but the decision taken by the suppliers to raise its price again was not to our liking. As we believed that union is strength, we made a concerted efford to boycott their produce, hoping that the price would go down. Our efforts were not in vain. Within just a few days, the price did go down.
