		<description>Point to ponder:

If the world oil prices came tumbling down to record low prices, would we still be paying RM1.92/litre or LESS? Or (gasp!) more?

Hmm, this is a tough one..</description>

		<description>Here is a clearer statistic that has malaysia in it.

http://www.kshitij.com/research/petrol.shtml

Imagine if malaysia has no subsidies for fuel and do not have its own fuel source I assume the price will be around USD 8$ which means every malaysian has to pay around RM25 per litre or RM750 full tank for a medium-size car... erm every week maybe?

again I assume 90% of malaysian will commit suicide...</description>

		<description>Before any stupid people starts another comment pls take a look at this statistic first

http://www.irintech.com/x1/images/jean/gasprices.jpg

Do not complain about price hike, because it is inevitable. Instead of complainning, you stupid people should think about how to earn more money. 

Desperate for more money? 
1. Get more than one job. 
2. Use brain, invent something.
3. Be creative, be valueble to your company, your boss will pay you more to secure your service.
4. Open many mamak stalls larr.</description>

		<description>Agree with norlmaluser, get your facts straight first. View situation from a wider angle before making comments or end up looking like a fool. Think outside the box and make suggestions, not komplen oni.. cetus idea, ya know.. dayum, keep it real, homeys.

Anyway, keep the comments on motor issues, let&#039;s not stray into politics too deep, so boring. Just go to other blogs for hardcore politics.</description>

		<description>to faizfadil...

AFAIK there&#039;s a few plant producing bio-fuel in Malaysia (from palm oil)... &amp; all of them losing money if running... so if u ask why gov not keen in bio-fuel then it&#039;s simple... production cost is higher then the petroleum fuel itself..

unless they can make cheaper bio-fuel then it&#039;s diff story...</description>

		<description>wan@auto
Have u been to Brunei and Kuwait? 
What kind of industry/business are there? Nothing.... thus the amount of subsidised fuel consume are minimal, as compared to ours where we have a big and vibrant economy with various industry. All consume energy, thus the subsidy is bigger.

Remember Pertamina is doing fine when Indonesia do not have much of an economy to shout about, however it nearly went bankrupt when the nation try to industrialised itself under Suharto.

Sometimes when one accuse somebody else there is another 4 finger pointing back at oneself.</description>

		<description>MisterBenjo:

Hiring outsiders to run our countries doesnâ€™t mean weâ€™re ruled by them, weâ€™re merely using them for our benefits. The same case is happening where our elites go serve other countries for their benefit. 

Can you imagine if our government hired Lee Kuang Yew as advisor, imagine how he can turn Malaysia into another miracle. Singapore can do it, why canâ€™t we? With so much more advantages god given. 

----------------------------------------------------------------

As i said before i dont think we are starved of good leaders.Just need to choose wisely.I also dont want this country to become like Singapore,be proud of ur own people fren.</description>

		<description>we should not be like the G always give reasons to right their wrongs or defending whatever they do...once beaten twice shy..

we should just think of ways to keep the oil price at whatever rate it is now and find ways to make the 43 billion or more some how..

besides cronies,corruption and all here...we cant find a better way to think how can we make enough money to keep the subsidy..

why dont we suggest some ways on how the G can make some money to susidies the fuel....atleast it will be helpful for pak lah..since he is listening now...(so he meant he wasnt in the past??)

i pity him lately(even if i hate him from day one)...no prime minister has faced what he is facing right now..he is just a broken man..</description>

The Sultan didnâ€™t want to appoint the deputy MB, u still wanna harp on abt it? You want another Utusan headline with â€œPKR Biadap terhadap Sultan Sâ€™gorâ€ ? How abt the fact thereâ€™s 5 non-malay in the Sâ€™gor exco? 4 women out of 10? Thatâ€™s not Bangsa Malaysia and better fairness to the female gender enuf for you? Why canâ€™t you have more faith in the state gahmen? Cuz theyâ€™re inexperienced? 
=============================================
How old are you actually?20, 21? Did I ever mention anything about a particular race or gender?Why is the term &#039;non-malay&#039; oftenly used when we are all Malaysian?BN or BR, they are politicians and I can say whatever I like about them, thats my right isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>what use is public transport when the citizens dont even feel safe in thier own homes. let alone risk themselves everyday to getting robbed/stabbed to take a crowded public transport. 

by the way, LRT is for KL only. doesnt have jack poo to do with the rest of malaysia. 

fix up crime while focusing on fuel. fuel in malaysia should be dirt cheap. esp with high car prices. even more so.</description>

		<description>Petrol in Malaysia is cheap if compare to what we pay in US for fuel. However, cars in US are much cheaper compared to the ridiculous price that we pay in Malaysia. In short, with the Malaysian government making billions from proton on top of the extra taxes that they exhorbitantly charge and profit from Petronas itself, I don&#039;t think the RM40b of subsidy is really that much after all.</description>

		<description>@herman

Read any recent NST news? They quote pak lah:

&quot;The result of the elections was a strong message that I have not moved fast enough in pushing through with the reforms that I had promised to undertake.

&quot;I thank the Malaysian people for this message. Point made and point taken,&quot;

So yes, it&#039;ll be veeeeery soon. Then it&#039;ll no longer be abt &quot;concerned abt rakyat&#039;s burden&quot;, it&#039;ll be abt &quot;I&#039;m digesting people&#039;s message for me to move faster&quot;.

Now if anyone thinking I&#039;m contradicting myself abt my earlier post of wanting the subsidy abolished, just do remember I&#039;m all for it with the condition that it&#039;ll be balanced out with lower road tax/toll/whatever etc. NOT for cronies to build more istanas, become AP king etc.</description>

		<description>Agree with normaluser. The lesser the corruption, the more better the funds can be channeled to the rakyat.

herman,
A seasoned politician should know how to goreng-goreng la. If not, then he&#039;s not a real politician. &quot;A silent politician is NO POLITICIAN&quot;. hahaha!

kakilubuk,
A simple word to describe your postings on this forum. Crap (in another post about fuel cells, you ask about hydrogen bomb??), brainless (no facts) and childish (emotional).</description>

I also not agreed with our G. However, they are the DURIAN &amp; we are still a CUCUMBER. Normaluser! Youâ€™re talking like you know everything hah? Where did you get all that facts? Prove it! This thing, that thing, blaâ€¦blaâ€¦bla. Like you just cut and paste whatever the the words from anywhere. But surely not from your brains. Please donâ€™t try to be a wise guy la. Only a mental problem persons thinking like you. Another thing, you should shut off your mouth in this blog. Busy body and you know something, you really are a big jerk. Ok Mr. Paul. Iâ€™m finish and Iâ€™m outa here. Puas hati aku.

=============

kakilubuk,
I speak based on my experience working in a public listed company and I handled clients which involved in government contracts, with value reaching millions of ringgit. I know exactly what am I talking about and its up to the readers to judge my comments. Believe it or not, its your call.

I dont want to waste my time talking to a brainless empty talking person like you (always post childish comments). Go back to university, and get a real degree. I hold no grudge againts you, but you seem to act like a kid by bashing me without any proper justifications.

OK back to the topic.

Prem says:
but dont you thing the NAP is also a contributor??it artificially price cars..so we pay more..the bank and G gain super profits..

normal user says:
I don&#039;t agree when you say that bank gain super profits out of car loans or mortgage. Banks borrow money from the money market (rates determined by underlying OPR by Bank Negara), and use them to disburse loans. The spread is not that much as &#039;super profits&#039; if you factor in NPLs and liquidity costs.

About the G makes money.. actually its the corrupted assemblymen, MPs &amp; excos, &#039;close one-eye&#039; authorities, political lobbyists and greedy govt vendors. Taxpayers money are drained into the coffers of these lunatics, instead of being used for the rakyat&#039;s benefit. Its sad to see the government didn&#039;t address much on transparency &amp; integrity issues as the factor which contribute to their worse ever election performance.</description>

		<description>i do agree with you lchan,

someday the petrol subsidy has to go..but we are not prepared for the some day yet...

let put it in a simple way...the G always say we are living is an artificial enviroment..where fuel and other food stuff are given subsidy and etc...

but dont you thing the NAP is also a contributor??it artificially price cars..so we pay more..the bank and G gain super profits..

yet we pay high interest for loans..

so when you buy a car or a house..you spend a big portion of your salary paying up for it...we cant live without a house or car for many in the cities...

next,our salary..its artificially low too..in my company..the fresh graduates are paid about rm 2000..without allowance..when my senior joined in 1993...he was given rm 1900 as a basic salary..so the increase is so little..just 5 %..thats all..do you get the point??

the G has train us to live in the artificial enviroment since the early 1980&#039;s..so after 20 years plus...how can it be taken away just like that??

and it should be a balance...if they increase the fuel price...reduce taxes..reduce interest,reduce duties...reduce everything possible to match a real world situation and increase our salary too...then i dont mind paying for higher petrol money...


they should prepare us for everything...build better public transport and make sure it works perfectly...i was using the LRT for 2 years before the G took over...and not even a day any breakdown occured..even during heavy rain, a five or 10 min delay...but lately...almost once a week..so how can i rely on public transport??

when my bro broke his leg after a futsal match,i took him to a G clinic..we waited for 3 hours before they even X ray the leg..how can someone in deep pain made to wait for 3 hours??atleast a pain killer injection should be given if they know its goin to take long..so how can i rely on G hospital??

and petrol subsidy reach every corner of malaysia...forget lrt or buses...if petrol subsidy is abolished food price will automatically increase..how do they control it??

even country like India..where there is 1 billion population,basic neccesity are subsidies  and rationed..where we are in natural resource rich with 27 million population only complaining about draining the G money...its our money for god sake..

so if you look far into the future...you should built it from the present...my hse area is already 16 years...but no public transport yet...so how can i survive without a car?many here do face the same problem...do you think we choose to drive in the jam?wasting  rm 300 plus on fuel and 1000 plus for car installment??and few hundred for maintainence?</description>

I did not conclude that the opposition is GOOD, at least before they did any bad, perhaps they can lock those who HAD DONE BAD stuffs, just because they weren&#039;t from the same gang. 

MisterBenjo:

Hiring outsiders to run our countries doesn&#039;t mean we&#039;re ruled by them, we&#039;re merely using them for our benefits. The same case is happening where our elites  go serve other countries for their benefit. 

Can you imagine if our government hired Lee Kuang Yew as advisor, imagine how he can turn Malaysia into another miracle. Singapore can do it, why can&#039;t we? With so much more advantages god given. 

Come to this, I felt like slapping Pak Lah when he mentioned don&#039;t compare a good apple and a good orange. MY GOD!?!?!?</description>
