After i reached home, I got message from frens saying that petrol will increase after this midnight from Rm1.910 to Rm2.70!! Wow! It's really so expensive. Mind u, 1 litre, Rm2.70!!
It's freaking expensive. And not only that, heard that August, government will cancel subsidization on petrol and the price will increase to Rm4 per litre. How i hope this is a fake news! I don't dare to think what will happen to the peoples if the petrol's prices still keep on increasing. And we all knew for sure, once petrol price increased, sure, other things like food, clothes, tranports sure will be increasing too.
I still keep on imagining from the moment i got the msg till now. I really dont understand.. Oil were from Sarawak and yet, Sarawakian got no priority nor advantages on it. We don't enjoy cheaper price on petrol nor Genting Entertainment and Sunway Lagoon WaterPark for us. We still need to pay for the flight to fly over to enjoy those things. I really don't like to discuss this issue, but WHY??!!
I've got nothing to say right now. Felt dissapointed! Hope things will go on better!!
Anyway, read this from a web. So might paste it here!
