“Only the price of packaging has gone up a little this year,” she said, adding that the price of ingredients such as sugar and flour remained the same.Shop assistant Karmilah Amir, 38, pointed out that there was a drop in the number of visitors from Singapore this year.“I hope there will be more of them soon as they would normally buy cookies in bulk,” she said.
