If goods and services price increase 40% as well
I really beh tahan with the 40.6% price increase in petrol and 63.3% increase in diesel as reported in Malaysiakini.
Let’s assume all the goods and services price increase 40% after the price of petrol and diesel increase 40.6% and 63.3% respectively. And with this assumption, I have calculated the price of the things that I will usually pay for.
That is an additional of RM 70.64 for every time I purchase the above items only.
And assuming on every working day, I would have lunch at one of the get-quick set lunch restaurant, my expenses per month will increased to a whopping RM 212.52 compared to RM 151.80 for now.
That is an increased of RM 60.72 per month for my lunch ONLY!
You call that Malaysia BOLEH?
AND
As long as the government still has the tidak apa attitude, the rakyat will continue to suffer. The long over due public transportation should had been taken care of in YEAR 2004 but the sleeping government did not do much except snoring and sleeping throughout the years.
SO
Do we need to be more creative in order to travel from one place to another?

My wife and I intend to retire to Penang in 14 years when I can start receiving a pension. I hope that the dollar to ringgit is favorable at that time or it may squash our dream.

Time to earn some pocket money from the Internet, http://ezrichproject.blogspot.com
Then again, global spending is decreasing as well thus, making money from the Internet will even be more tougher. Sien
