Price of Petrol: RM1.92 (30 sen increase)

- Trashed by SampahMan @ 4:47 PM

Wow, I just had to say something. It's 30 cents! This certainly affects my monthly expenses to the tune of approximately RM50. As for the expected increase of other goods and services due to the cascading effect, I have no idea yet.

How does it affect the rest of everyone? Just curious to know...

RM50? Wait till they raised the price of everything else. My prediction: a plate of char kuew teow will cost RM5 in the coming days... Actually I don't mind they reduced the subsidy as long as the money is put to good use rather than building another faulty and leaky MRR2. How can they not waterproofed an open air bridge?!? Who's the engineer?!? They might as well build it with matchsticks... Sorry for ranting on your blog...

One of my teacher once said something like - when you focus on a "problem", it will become your real problem.
In other words, the quality of your life is determined by what you focus on.
You can choose to focus on rising gasoline price, lousy minister who simply give out handphone number etc or you can choose to focus on how you can add more value to others and yourselves.
By law of nature, the thing called wealth is normally attracted to the later group.
Perhaps I shouldn't comment too much since I live freaking near to workplace, but - I know what my choice is anyway.

On a side note, one of our colleague recently commented about our move to KL - he seems to have it planned out, he's gonna use the public transport and earn the time to do more reading and thinking. I have a role model.

30 SEN??!! Who writes these articles? hehe Anyway, I guess jacking up prices is a part of life. I remember when a little booklet of Hello Kitty stickers use to cost 25 sen, and now it's a dollar! US $$

The increase in gas will affect me in Malaysia sonner or later... People tell me librarians make 4 RM an hour in Malaysia! CRAP!
