A memorable day ( 4th of June 2008)
this place looks familiar to me
Rumour of the increase of the petrol's price spreaded to every single corner in Malaysia by sms, calls and even radio within an hour after the announcement made. Prime Minister of Malaysia,known as Pak Lah did a big mistake ever in his life. Before the announcement of the new petrol's price, he was like in the red zone in the war field as politicians and public were forcing him to step down from the prime minister post. I believe that he will be in deep troubles by facing the public dues to the increamental of the petrol's price. I understand that the increase of the petrol's price is not only his decision, it was forced by the external factors such as the increase of the international petrol's price but does he able to answer us where are the gains from reducing subsidies on petrol's price to ? Answer is ......"semua untuk pembangunan negara dan kebaikan rakyat Malaysia" But rakyat don't see it
My car is Waja Campro 1.6 (2006) with fuel tank capacity of 55 liters
When the price of petrol was RM 1.92 per liter:
Full tank, 55 liters * RM 1.92 = RM 110
Fuel consumption per km = RM 0.20
When the price of petrol gone up to RM 2.70 per liter, which means 27% of increase:
Full tank, 55 liters * RM 2.20 = RM 150
Fuel consumption per km, RM 0.20 * 127% = RM 0.27
(all figures are approximation)
When I was filling in petrol into my car, I saw someone fill up petrol with barrels and bottles. I don't know since when Singaporean's culture, KIASU has brought over into Malaysia. Is it because of the influence from the government ? Therefore, should I vote for coalition for the next general election ?
