A change in lifestyle can go a long way towards helping consumers cope with the increase in cost of living which has spiralled dramatically of late. The urgency has become more demanding with the latest hike in gasoline pump price, a jump of some 40 per cent. Technological advancement, however would help consumers change their cost-inducing habits.
"it is not easy for many of us to change our lifestyle as we have been in the comfort zone for so long. But we have to face reality. We need to change to a more sustainable lifestyle to better manage our cost of living in the long run", said Piarapakaran Subramaniam, the programme manager of the Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations(Fomca) environment desk. |
