DENPASAR: Housewives in Bali's capital are expressing outrage at the sudden increase in the price of basic commodities.

"Rice now costs Rp 14,000 per kilogram, a Rp 500 increase from three days ago. Chili now sells for Rp 50,000 per kilogram. This increase will badly affect our expenses," a housewife, Nyoman Surni, said, adding that her husband was only a low-level clerk with a limited salary.

Surni said she usually spent Rp 20,000 per day to buy basic commodities, but that currently, that amount wasn't enough any more. - JP
