Petrol Price Hike >> Not again ?!?! =.="

OMG again, this is like the fourth increase already. Petrol increase, food increase everything increase but salary never increase... =.="

 No not this sweat... 

This!!!

l remember back in those days when I was still driving a Kancil, the petrol price was increased to RM2.70 (if I remember correctly - many many many many years ago), crazeee! But one good thing came out of it, the roads were empty :) I was happily driving to work everyday without any traffic. But of course Public Transportation (Train/Bus/Taxi) were flooded with people trying to find cheaper alternative to work. Poor people. At this point food prices increase to compensate the petrol hike. I love to eat Mixed Rice for lunch, I take lots of cabbage, I would say to the aunty why so expensive, and she will reply 'Cabbage now expensive'. Mother her!!! GRR!!!! You think I never buy cabbage before... GRRR!!! Never mind no choice need to eat, next time take lesser cabbage see what she say. 

Next round took lesser cabbage and some other veggie, still so expensive, ask her again she say now petrol expensive everything also expensive. KNS. AGAIN!!!!! This shows that petrol price increase is BAD. I kind off got use to the petrol price being at RM2.70. After a while, it went back down to RM1.90. Unfortunately food prices did not reduce. Petrol price increase is BAD! Let's say it together people petrol price increase is BAD!

I am thrilled since it will be cheaper for me to drive, but definitely not happy because food prices will still be the same. Whenever petrol price increases, it will affect everything else to increase, however when the petrol price reduces as the government subsides more, all the prices remain the same. This don't make sense to me. WHYYYYY!!! Then government decided to reduce subsidy for Ron95 and petrol price is RM2.10 and as of today RM2.30. Increase TWICE!!!! Great my chaap faan will be even more expensive now! 



I would prefer that they kept the petrol price at RM2.70 at least all other prices are increase only once. Now that petrol price has increase by 4x, all other prices would have increase 4x too. Me being an average income earner find it hard to survive what more about those lower earning groups. I feel their burden/pain. They have kids to support and having kids are not cheap. Can you imagine if I want a Huskie as my baby, it cost RM5000 to buy one. I have to eat grass for a few months before I can buy one. That excludes foods, jabs, and any other expense that might incur.


I wish the organizations/companies would adjust our salary accordingly, based on petrol hikes and inflation and not to forget performance. *Wishful thinking*
