since we have all been so oblivious in our own lives, past few days when my friend called he said, hey you heard they're going to increase the petrol price? i said yeah, read the article but i thought it was going to be implemented only in august? he said, nah just heard it on the radio that they're going to increase it up to 40%! then i managed to say this, ehhh you gila ke? that's a lot?!! i don't think so you heard the announcement properly...
now... padan muka sendiri! haha... seriously it really did happen! all the petrol stations on wednesday night was packed, as in jammed packed! it took me almost an hour to get to my parents from segambut! tsk tsk tsk... it was madness i tell you.
well looking at it, there's no one to blame for the price being hiked up to RM2.7o we're affected globally! the price per barrel is already USD13o, and according to the article if the govt were to subsidise it would cost the RM52b! just imagine, and if that were to happen, the income tax would be higher, and this would definitely cause another stir in the country... still can't please everyone... no matter what the decision is... people would still voice out that they are unsatisfied by certain decisions...
oh well... i guess many are looking for different alternatives now... like riding a scooter? but government is pretty concern about the possibility of highten road accidents! too many predicaments!
i guess at the end of the day we just have to live with it... no amount of protests will change anything...
