What are your gasoline prices currently, and what did they used to be?
On Friday the price per barrel of oil on the NYMEX increased by 11 USD... that's a record by the way.
I don't know much about your government, but petroleum prices in general are high for various reasons.
We know that petroleum prices are going to increase generally, but informing the people about it literally one night before for such a sharp increase of 40% overnight didn't sit too well with Malaysians... the current prime minister said that it would happen in August and suddenly he announced this last week - where has all the money gone to?
And I dont know if that could've been avoided in the first place, but this coming from the same prime minister who said they will not dissolve the parliament only to do just that the very next day not so long ago, the same govt suffered the worst election result in Malaysian history currently plus many scandals are being exposed right under their noses ... so this petrol thing is just the icing on the cake
It all just adds up .. - we're not naive to think that petrol prices won't go up, but the problem is the accounts do not tally - we're supposed to be richer than what the govt is letting on - and this has been going on for quite some time, we're charged for ridiculously high toll charges and our car taxes are INSANE, our money is literally lost in thin air.
