Out of the blue, the government announce the sudden hike in fuel price last night.. After receiving the sms from Jai, I straight away log into the internet to confirm the news. I'm impressed with the NSTP online for their fast news reporting compare to others.
People rush to their nearest patrol stations trying to save 40% drastic increase to their "soon to be burden" monthly expenditure. Well at least a week cost saving for the remaining weeks in the half of 2008 for fuel consumption. This chaotic drama made hits the national news headline last night made me wonder what else could the government do apart from giving the cash subsidies which to me the mechanism of obtaining it is too troublesome and rigid.
Be realistic why do I have to go to the POS Malaysia for my subsidies. Didn't it ever occurs to our mind that traveling to POS Malaysia also required fuel. Typically, the process of road tax renewal start with purchasing car insurance policy, then to the bank for road tax card (if we still owe the bank) and then to JPJ or coming back to the bank the following day for road tax. Now additionally we need to go to the pos office to collect our subsidies...? God there goes my RM 50 just to settle my road tax and getting my fuel subsidies...Ain't we living in the era of IT???...By the way Malaysia was the 1st country to introduce intelligent identity card and passport.
For those who studied economic, I'm sure you know the consequences after this will be even greater with the increase of goods and services price. Yes! no doubt government says that they control the celling price of all necessity food items but not at the end product right? How effective is the mechanism of price control in the mass market is still uncertain. Ops! sorry even makcik nasi lemah knews these... if there is demand there must be supply. Thus clever supplier shall stock the control items and push the market which automatically push the government to revise the celling market.
I know we stress over the issue of fuel now, be smart and wiser dealing with our daily life. hopefully you don't become like these video..njoy it.
