Fuel is up by RM 0.78 which makes it RM 2.70 per litre. I am actually all for no subsidy for petrol, that way the government can save the billions of dollar and spend wisely on good and efficient public transportation.

Sadly this is Malaysia. Our planning is grand but our execution is certainly poor. I have some questions for the government of today on fuel:-
- Why there is no tax cut for hybrid cars?
- Why Proton is not working on alternative fuel engine cars? Do you know in Brazil, cars run on ethanol and its mass produced by Ford and Honda?
- Why Thailand can have proper public transport integration between their SkyTrain, underground Metros, Bus Rapid Transit and even the river boats? And we can't even connect our monorail with KL Sentral? What more of Masjid Jamek station?
- People are complaining about KTM Komuter for ages, why no immediate action and contingency plan?
- UK and Japan Prime Minister emphasis on alternative fuel development, we?
Change lifestyle to curb inflation
Petrol price up by 78 sen - and will be reviewed monthly
Pak Lah, you said we need to change our lifestyle. How lah? We are only drawing salary and every month we budget for our necessities? What more you want us to cut down? We don't live in mansions and we drive Protons. You want us to take the bus to work? Why not you start first? Heard of leadership by example?
Ministers might not realise since they live in huge mansions and fuel is practically free for them. They get chauffeured around Perdana (2.0 ni..) or X5s with Police outriders (Lagi bazir minyak ini...). You guys isi minyak pakai duit rakyat, I don't think you understand the situation of the rakyat out there. Economy is struggling, and what more can we want cut down? Anymore, we might as well we stop breathing.
