Time to make money, times two

One of the many inns/hotels in Gua Musang

As with any other by-elections, it is common understanding that with by-elections come businesses@more money. This is due to demand no matter how ridiculous the prices are. But it still makes me marvel at how high, really, that the prices can go. Very high, it seems, in Gua Musang.

I also noticed there are many motels/inns/hotels around the Gua Musang town which raises the question, if not for the by-election, are there still that many customers for these accommodations? One can only wonder. Some owners even give out the 'take it or leave it' attitude, what with the by-election coming on the day after tomorrow.

I stayed in an inn the first night I reached here. It was RM90 then. Today, a quick question to the same inn operator told me it's RM180, for the same type of room, just a different date. The date nearing to the by-election, of course.

Another inn I came across even had a print out with the heading that said:

'ROOM PRICES FOR BY-ELECTION'

Wow, some don't even try to cover the fact that they are hiking up prices during by-election period. Take it, or leave it. And by the way, if you want to make money, watch out for the next by-election and set up an inn, a hotel in the area of the by-election, and be prepared to make  heaps of money...! :-)
