A boring day.

Again.

Phew...

Look at the news today.

Petrol price increased again.

Well it's a steep hike.

And broke the record as well.

I'm sure Malaysian motorists were shocked by the sudden increase of 78 cents in petrol price with effect from today.

Either me too.

This significant increase has severely affected the motorists particularly from the low and middle class society.

As they need to fork out their own pocket money to pay each time they refuel their vehicles.

I was frustrated.

When I saw the news that the ministers and some rich guys said all Malaysian should solve this coming inflation together and bla bla bla.

We are not ministers.

We do not earn that much.

We are not given any fuel allowances by the Government or our company.

Those people would not feel the pinch as they never seem to bother because the cost is not bear by them.

So they can just say those rubbish to us.

How if they only earn RM2,000 per month? Ask them to tell us how to divide our money.

I seriously think about one thing.

How am I going to divide my pocket money this time?
Less shopping? Less travelling? Eat less?

With the sudden price increase in fuel, consumer goods, utilities, etc... Everyone began to wonder where we are heading to.

I believe that the current government is well aware that they will lose the next election.

Those ministers claimed that the reason of the price hike is the government carry too heavy subsidies.

If this carry on, the government will go bankrupt.

But just think again, where is the money we paid for road taxes, income taxes.... etc? Development? Does Malaysia need any development at this moment? Even the public transportations do not reach the standard yet.

Has the government ever tried to make the public transport to become better???

If the public transport were clean, proper and safe, we would definitely use them. Our LRTs does not have enough seats and a lot of people does not bother to give up their seats if they see a mother with children or a senior citizen or a pregnant woman. Our buses have improved compared with the bus minis those days but buses does not enter many residential areas and the bus routes are not very clear hence it confuses many people. I waited at KTM, the time indicates reach at 7:15, but never on time it reaches. KTM delays often.

And when the government said they have too much burden on subsidies of petrol, we still can see that our beloved country is still hard-pressed to go ahead with its "Super Duper Ultimate Space Programme".

I seriously have no idea what the purpose of this programme is.

And what do we get in return at the end? What sort of experiments have you conducted in space to make our lives easier? So what if they can make teh tarik or flip a roti canai in space?

I think the people needs the money more than the importance of sending another to space.

And just stop cheating people by using the diagram shows the comparison with those countries without oils.

Malaysia has oils! Compare with the other countries which produce oils as well.

Anyway, cost of living is increasing beyond control now.

I have to spend lesser from now on...
