Komodo Dragon: We can’t, we just have to use less.

Mama BoK: Yah back in UK it’s about GBP1.30 a litre now, insane!

In the meantime, i'm going back to dream about efficient public transport and cheap taxes on cars. :) where are you AFTA?? well…. i hate to be a wet blanket but i don’t think we should expect any announcement of where the well “saved” monies are going to be spent…

more likely, i believe the money “saved” on fuel sudsidies are there to compensate and balance the books in the govt coffers.

And here just as I'm planning to get my driving license rofl. Today's newspapers, 10% cut on expenditure, wtf? If the expenditure was low in the first place, 10% sounds good, however I seriously doubt so lol. After getting everyone to pay so much tax when one purchases a car, you'd think they'd have the decency to cut the tax on cars after removing the fuel subsidy. But noooo, its a RM625 rebate lol. Supposedly the fuel prices are going to go up soon again in August. tsk tsk tsk. Ugh, crazy oil prices. And here just as I’m planning to get my driving license rofl.

RM625 rebate is not even enough to cover the hike. RM625 divide by 10 months = RM62.50 per month. I guess most of us are forking more than the 62.50 per month due to the fuel hike. What can we do? Even the PM asks us to change our lifestyle when they are spending away like nobody's business. It pisses me off totally when I knew about the fuel hike.
