30 cents.....

Recently, the Gov't decided to increase petrol price to a whopping 30 cents per litre. I'm not exergerating when i say 'whopping'. 30 cents may sound a little.....i mean people may think, what can u get for 30cents these days except for 1 time worth of sms to ur friend or to go to a shopping mall's toilet where you have to pay 30 cents to piss or shit. But don't be fooled, as 30 cents per litre for fuel is wayyy a lot! It is about an extra RM20 per month for fuel if you are driving our kereta nasional that is suppossedly "fuel economical".

As we Malaysians just have to keep stretching our humble little Ringgit bill further and dig into our pockets a little bit deeper....isn't there a question to be answered here? How deep can we dig till our pockets get burned? I mean, we just have to bear with the Gov't's decision everytime they decide to increase the petrol price and what can we all do but 'keep trying to make every Ringgit worth it by saving and saving as much as we can until it's no longer possible to do so!'
The petrol price keeps on hiking year after year but we are still stuck with the same amount of salary! How then, can we all survive if the prices keep on increasing?? And...when petrol price increase, so does everything else. I just paid 20 cents more for my pan mee today.
All the Gov't is doing now is keep on justifying why it is a MUST for them to increase the price, as if it was wrong for us all to be mad about it. No matter how we protest, the Gov't just shuts us up by using the same old excuse "We Malaysians pay one of the LOWEST rates for petrol"....i mean...so?? Isn't that supposed to be it since we are a petrol producing country? Duh! And everytime they decide to increase the price, they just have to announced it to the public like 10.30- 11pm in the night...which leaves us with less than an hour to go fill up on one last round worth of CHEAP petrol?? Can't they be a little more considerate??
So, instead of the papers publishing how the consumers feel about the price increase, they publish on 'Why is it ESSENTIAL to increase the price' and even how to save fuel? Haha......So i guess the public just have to think of more ideas to save money.
