Oil Price Hike In Malaysia

Oil price hike in Malaysia is now one of the serious matter here. A price hike from RM1.92 to RM 2.70 , looks like a small increase but actually it makes a big difference. A person who usually fills his car for half tank would only cost him around RM30 but if he fills his tank now it will cost him about RM 60. Now we could see its affect.

Oil price also indirectly had made price increases in grocery. From meat, vegetables, frozen food, and dishes sold in restaurant had increase in price. This only make people poorer not richer as there was no increase in their salary. People are wondering how could everythings their prices are going up but not their salary.

How could the government could achieve their Wawasan 2020 if the prices hike like jet. According to the Wawasan 2020 the government promise that there will no people poor in Malaysia anymore. Coul they achieve this by 18 years time. I think it is impossible as proverb says ‘Rom was not built in a day’

Even school canteen has increase their prices of dish. This is a burden to parents as they need to work harder or do overtime to solve their financial problem. I now need to advise my children to spend their pocket money wisely as I do earn much. This is actually a said thing to say as Malaysia once was a better country than Singapore but now we could see that Singapore is leading us in all including economic, currency value and more. My advise to the bloggers we need to think about this matter and find a solution as soon as possible before it is too late.

Thank you, I will keep in touch with new topic
