We like chicken but the decision taken by the suppliers to raise its price again was not to our liking. As we believed there is strength in numbers, 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.
Kami suka makan ayam, tetapi kami tidak suka tindakan pembekal ayam menaikkan lagi harga bahan makanan. Kami percaya bahawa bersatu teguh, bercerai roboh. Oleh itu kami beramai-ramai memulaukan daging ayam dengan harapan harganya akan turun. Usaha kami itu ternyata berhasil. Dalam tempoh beberapa hari sahaja, harga ayam telah turun semula.
