The surprise i had yesterday was the traffic jam at Penang. I had to take 4 hours to reach home from my office which usually only took 45 mins. Everyone was lining up to fill up the tank. Mine was empty and i had no choice but to fill it up. But gave up trying to fill the tank as the queue was too long.
Usually a full tank will cost me RM80 but now i have to spend nearly RM120 to fill up the tank. As what Sunny says life goes on. We'll just have to sit down and plan our budget again. Do we have a choice? Many have said that we're an fuel export country and should be enjoying the profits. Indonesia is an OPEC member and yet they have increase their petrol price. Nigeria and UAE is also voicing their concern.
Suet Sum called me up to inform me of the price increase but thought it was just a rumours. But when i log in to NST found that it was true. So i sms all my salerep so that they fill up their tank.
My dear call me at the night when i was on my way back and blamed the government for the price hike. To me the person to blame for all this is the one who declare war with Iraq. Not that i support Iraq or the alliance but why go interfere with other people business. And now see what have you'll done. The world is now poorer.
Anyway the govt have tried to maintain the petrol price. It's a global issue and not the govt issue. Spend the money on the poor in this country and those who's in need.
