Yesterday, Prime Minister Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim visited a Ramadhan Bazaar in Perlis before leaving for a buka puasa event nearby. His visit, however, was slightly “interrupted” by a Mak Cik, who had a friendly message for him.
While being surrounded by the crowd, the Mak Cik stood near PMX outside his car and told him to take a look into the rising costs of living, as shown in a viral TikTok post by @wanpakyatowingperlis.
“Things are expensive. You have to take a good look at it!” the Mak Cik ‘sternly’ reminded PMX.
Anwar smiled and nodded at the Mak Cik, who had probably voiced out what entire Malaysians have been waiting to tell PMX personally.
She also told Anwar that the Ramadhan Bazaar there is usually not crowded but not on that day, especially when the people around there knew that the PM was visiting. He then jokingly asked the Mak Cik if he had to visit the bazaar every day, to which she said,
“Yes, you have to come here every day!”
Before PMX went into his car, the Mak Cik had a sweet message for him as a token of appreciation for listening to her.
“I love you! Bye!”
The crowd burst out in laughter while PMX entered his car, getting ready to leave the scene.
In a brief conversation with WORLD OF BUZZ, Pak Ya said that PMX visited the Ramadhan Bazaar at Gua Sami, Seriap in Perlis. According to him, the bazaar is known as the mini version of Putrajaya by the locals. Perlis Menteri Besar was also at the scene.
When asked about the costs of living, Pak Ya also told WORLD OF BUZZ that everyone is affected by the rising prices of goods. Not only that but he also admitted that the food pricing in Ramadhan Bazaar at Gua Sami is not cheap anymore.
“The food is expensive today, unlike last time.”
You can watch the Mak Cik “in action” in the clip below.

The Mak Cik deserves an applause for her bravery in voicing out what’s bothering the people, and thankfully, PMX stood outside his car and patiently listened to her. If you were to meet PMX, what would you tell him?
