with the recent increase of 30 cents.. the amount looks kinda low.. 30 cents only ma.. but this is affecting alot of people including me.. and you can see how the insignificant small amount can make drastic changes.. example? see 5XMom's and rojak's post
with petrol price increase.. there will be
1. bus fare increase.. (i need to take a bus to work..) and besides that.. means no more or less travelling for balik kampung to spend time with parents!!
2. chap fan (mixed rice) price increase.. (i need food)
3. mamak prices increase.. (so no more teh tarik, canai, chit chat or cut down this leisure event)..
4. high cost of living driving to high cost of renting rooms :) .. many would like to generate side income
5. and above all? salary is still the same..
this is what i view as.. squeezing it to the maximum :)
i think sooner or later.. many will just lead a more mundane life of just work, stay at home and don't go out.. this is so "DULL"..
yea maybe many will say that we can still be engaged to healthy and free activity like "jogging" around the park.. hehe.. with the recent news of somebody got killed i think it's better for us to be a good couch potato ;)

aiyak...

kekekeke...
That's no excuse not to exercise.
Lari setempat works fine in the room.
lol well the petrol hikes aren't gonna stop, they want to raise the bar close to sg in the coming future. So start saving those nicks and dimes, and jogging? i wouldnt recommend a pretty lass like you jogging in a park in malaysia, i find some Malaysians somewhat of a dark nature. Waiting to strike someone with their guard down...Final verdict : Yes Malaysia is a cess pool.
30 cents is a lot! Imagine, you try to fill up a tank...
Better use bicycle, cheaper, easier to maintain, environment friendly... only very slow and need manual cycle :D
You know, elsewhere in the world, it's one of these combos.
Good public transport, hefty car and fuel prices.
Bad public transport, cheap car, high fuel prices.
Malaysia, it's BAD public transport, Expensive cars, and high fuel prices.
Malaysia has all the elements required to kill the economy slowly.
Some of the key aspects of economy foundation are
1. Political stability.
2. Consistent policy favoring investment.
3. Communications infrastructure.
4. Human Capital.
5. Transportation.
We barely have half of these in place and we're definitely losing out to the rest of the world.
Thanks to greedy politicians and proton pride, everyone will be made to suffer.
Please get ready and save money for rainy days.

Poland sounds... like Singapore. Everything's expensive. But the average earning for a fresh graduate in Singapore is close to S$2.8k to 3k. In Malaysia the fresh grad(assuming the fresh grad can even find a job) will probably get RM$1.8k or RM2.2k at most.
So we're paid less, live expensive, travel expensive, eat expensive and all the govt knows what to say is "Oh, we're still the cheapest on the SEA countries".
I need more pay. Can't afford that house anymore with all these price hikes!
Manusia~~~
Time to buy house, then can cook at home economically and no need to pay high rent :P~
Kekeke.
If compared to other countries, ours is still relative cheap. But the price will keep on increasing - gradually. And the next increase is next year. Got good, got bad...
Comparing only the price is a very shallow thing to do.
Other countries may have high fuel prices but they make up for it with better public transportation or affordable cars.
We have the worst of everything so don't go compare like that.
Don't parrot the politicians.
The funny thing is that Malaysia exports oil!
I just saw the images of the demonstrations. Unfortunately, those people do have a point.
