Its 40.6 percent jump from RM1.92 per litre to RM2.70. My phone messages are coming in like there’s a sale going on. Hurry up!!!! Fill up your car fuel before midnight,price of petrol goes up about 40% .Thats what the sms are saying. there is a rush to all the petrol stations and the queue is unbelievable. I ask a Shell Operator B.Bernard and he says never has there been such a “Mad Rush!!. Come and Buy while Stocks Last”.Obviously with the increase other things will not be spared and the people will have to tighten their belts.
A close friend Peter Ato( Engineer) asks me whether I know anyone who sells Horses? Hu..h!! He was dead serious!! I said Wha..t!!!?? He replied fuel prices has escalated and he only needs to feed grass to the horse. Ha ha ha!!!
For now, the public must be guaranteed three things: Firstly, public transportation fares must not go up; secondly, low-income families must be allowed a rebate for public transportation; and lastly, public transportaion operators must not take advantage of the situation. You can call it ”A Storm” “Killer Tsunami” “Oil Typhoon” but it will affect all levels of Malaysian Society.
NST frontpage June 3rd 2008 headlines FUEL PRICE HIKE IN AUGUST? So has August come too soon? Abdullah said,”We try our bests and we have to think what is the bests for our people. There should not be demonstration as the government is still giving subsidy to less wealthy people.”

Wahlau-eh! My phone ringing and ringing and one after another sms kept coming in. At this point in time, it makes you feel like a VIP. So? What is it all about the phone ringing and the sms. PRICE OF PETROL AND DIESEL WILL INCREASE AS THE CLOCK STRIKES 12 MIDNIGHT. What? Petrol and diesel price increase! If I am not wrong the Minister of Domestic Trade said the price increase will be in August this year. Pak Lah, why the sudden turn around. MAMA MIA! Petrol by 78 cents per litre and diesel by a whopping RM 1 per litre. Wah! If you ask me, THE GODS MUST BE MAD. Mad or not, sometime this month prices of goods and services will increase in tandem with the price hike of petrol and diesel. I am talking about increases in goods and services only. Actually a lot of things will increase. PLease dont blame Pak Lah, the poor man got no choice. He is trying very hard to save the country’s economy. You know lah. I am talking about the fuel subsidy. It’s increasing due to the high price of crude oil in the world market. HIGH PRICE OF CRUDE OIL? Good! Petronas will make extra many billions $ Good also for the government, Petronas will have to pay more in corporate taxes. GOOD for the government that after Petronas pays the taxes the government will also get some billions $ from Petronas net profits since petronas is a GLC. Good also that the price of petrol and diesel will increase after midnight as the government will be able to get more in terms of taxes from the sale of petrol and diesel. at the pump. With all this extras, the ministers can continue to fly Ist. class or business class as they travel about on official business Oh, they will of course also stay in suites when out of this country. Don’t forget we also have to maintain the Airbus for Pak Lah. So please don’t complain about the petrol price increase. ANWAR, when are you going to do the things that you must do. We Malaysians depend on you. In the meantime to all Malaysians, hang on to your balls

When there’s such a big fuel hike
It’s time to change car for a bike
Or some may prefer their sporty spike
Although these choices are not what all like

Desperados will have to resort to Ah Longs, which also increase their rate from rediculously high to impossibly high to maintain their margin. More hand get chopped, more wives get raped, more children get tortured. Some will resort to violence, mugging and buglary, snatchthief (although it will be more like the case of the poor robbing the poor) And no one is there to help, because the police now are all in FRU uniforms beating up people in street protest and those burning Petronas and National Flag in anger…

Is the government trying its best to make the poeple run riot in the street so that they can use it as an excuse to declare emergency condition ala 13 May. Some of those involved in 13 May are still around and are maybe plotting the same thing.

Tahu tak NST means “No Such Thing”. How to believe NST which like Badawi who learned from the best liars in the world i.e. Bill Clinton and George Bush. Ask any kid and they can tell you badawi is a big liar.

Anger, Anger, Anger and Frustration is what lingers in the mind of our dear RAKYAT MALAYSIA. Who do you blame? Blame ourselves..
Why? For beleveing the BN-BARANG NAIK PARTY. They divide and rule this land by instiling fear into the mind of malays and playing WAYANG KULIT with the non malays.But infact the malays , chinese and indians and the rakyat sabah and sarawak are beautiful people not racilist satan like the BN AND UMNO GOONES.
Blame ourselves for beleveing in them and now its the GIFT of FUEL HIKE from a bunch of idiots THE CABINET.
A MESSAGE TO MCA, MIC GERAKAN AND PPP, PROVE YOURSELF THAT YOU GUYS ARE FOR THE RAKYAT, PULL OUT OF BARANG NAIK PARTY BN.
DEMAND THAT THE TIDUR PM BADAWA REVERTS BACKS TO THE OLD FUEL PRICE..
