Again!!

Assalamualaykum.

Petrol price up again? I was getting ready for school when I heard the 6am news that day. Without any warnings, the Government had decided to raise the price for gasoline, diesel and LPG. And I, as an obidient citizen accepted the 'fate' with despair. "Kuasa bukan di tangan saya." There goes my monthly salary~

The retail price for petroleum products including diesel will be raised by another 30 sen effective Tuesday.
Yup, I've felt the pressure due to the increment. The consequence: I had to spend my weekend in Setiu rather than driving back to KB. It's a torture!!
The increase was to tackle the impact from the increase in the price of crude petroleum in the world market and to curb the increase in subsidy which had to be borne by the government, the statement said.
I pity our government for that, but the citizens are suffering too!! We do not have fuel allowances, for God's sake! Not like some people.
However, the statement said that the government gave an assurance that there would be no further raise in the retail price of petroleum products this year.
And that means there'll be a raise AGAIN in 2007?? Or worse, a few more raises? I'm sick of this. Still, the possibility is there, right?
The new price of RON 97 petrol is now 192 sen per litre, RON 92 Petrol -- 188 sen per litre, Diesel -- 158.1 sen per litre and LPG -- 175 sen per kilogram.
Well, in Terengganu RON 97 is sold at 193 sen per litre and Kelantan 194 sen.
"Although the government is raising the price of petroleum products, diesel and LPG, the price of petrol and diesel in Malaysia is still cheaper compared to the price of most of these products in the Asean countries except for Brunei Darussalam," the statement said.
What do we care about other countries? It's none of our business. It's us who are suffering here.

There you have it. This is what you get when you own a car. Think again if you think of getting one. Unless, somebody else's paying for your gas. Wassalam~
