Why Chinese area market sell so expensive?

Really can't understand, why Chinese has to sell so expensive, Malay will sell so cheap?

华人什么都要好,都要贵.

If you go Chinese area morning market, RM100 you can buy so litter thing in the market, fish is terrible expensive, you know Cod Fish "雪鱼" cost around RM45 per piece?

I bought mata kucing at Pasar Malam along Jalan Kuching last week, it is RM5 per kg, next morning i go pasar pagi at Kepong Maluri, I kepochi ask how much? IT COST RM10 per kg, the owner said it has no  药水的, then she said, got 药水 is cost RM8 per kg, in my mind, I want to tell her, i bought yesterday at Malay Pasar Malam, it only cost RM5 per kg.

I bought mata kucing (RM5 per kg), mango (big one, 2 biji RM10) and mangostine (RM6 for 2kg), it cost me RM21 total, i can believe i would not get this much in chinese morning market at kepong.

A lot of people agreed that if you go malay pasar pagi or pasar malam, you can get very cheap fruits, cheap seafood (fresh or not fresh, depends), cheap vege.....My brother, 2nd sister and another india friend (i saw her in jln kuching malay pasar malam) agree with me. You will see Chinese at this pasar malam sell cheap too.

If i tell malay friends, my babysitter fee is RM800 per month, their tongue will come out. For them, even their 3 children babysitter fee add up is less than mine. I am not saying that my babysitter fee is expensive, because for chinese, depends on area, some even RM1000 per month. i just wonder why? Why Chinese everything is expensive? wedding ceremony, wedding dinner, death ceremony, babysitter, confinement lady cost, education, festival (Chinese New Year....), everything must be expensive.

Just upload some photo that i took at Pasar Malam along Jalan Kuching.

Last week i went to pasar malam tepi Jalan Kuching
