CONFIRMED: RON95 and diesel up by RM0.05 at midnight

Fuel-Wallet GaugeIt’s confirmed – the government (via the Prime Minister’s Office) have decided to increase the price of various items in the country via the reduction of subsidy. These subsidy cuts are supposed to save the government RM750 million a year. The government claims that even after these cuts it will continue to spend about RM7.82 billion a year on fuel and sugar subsidies.

Word is that this is just the first in a round of many more subsidy cuts to come, which means the government has implemented some kind of incremental subsidy reduction plan similar to Idris Jala’s proposed PEMANDU plan.

  • RON95 petrol price will increase by RM0.05 to RM1.85.
  • RON97 petrol will be put on a ‘controlled float’. I’m not sure what the price will be after midnight. Will it be up by RM0.05 to RM2.10 per litre or will it go up by a larger margin?
  • Diesel will go up by RM0.05 as well, which means the diesel price that you and me will be able to get at the pump will be RM1.75 per litre. However the government also says the RM0.05 hike is for all sectors so fishermen and etc will feel the hike as well.
  • LPG Natural Gas will go up by RM0.10 to RM1.85 per kg.
  • Sugar will go up by RM0.25 per kg to RM1.75.

Seriously guys, based on an average full tank of 50 litres, you’re only going to save RM2.50 if you rush to the pumps to fill your motor vehicle up today. It’s not worth it, please don’t clog up the fuel pumps and the roads around the pumps and make the roads a living hell for less calculative motorists!

      you go figure this out first!

      a. Pertama, kesemua subsidi ini tidak menepati sasaran – ia memberi faedah juga kepada pihak yang tidak layak, iaitu warga asing dan rakyat yang berpendapatan tinggi yakni mereka yang mampu untuk membayar petrol tanpa subsidi. Fokus kita sepatutnya ialah bagi membantu golongan yang berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana bukan mereka yang memandu kereta import yang mewah. Subsidi gula yang berlebihan pula memberi faedah kepada industri-industri dan bukannya keluarga. Hampir dua kali ganda subsidi gula ini digunakan oleh sektor perniagaan berbanding isi rumah.

      b. Kedua, barangan yang bersubsidi tinggi selalunya membawa kepada aktiviti penyeludupan kerana pemberian subsidi telah menjadikan barangan ini paling murah di rantau ini. Pada tahun 2009 sahaja, ramai penyeludup telah ditangkap ketika cuba membawa keluar lebih 200 tan metrik gula. Sebenarnya, jumlah yang tidak dapat ditangkap kerana penyeludupan ini adalah lebih besar. Diesel terus diseludup dan dijual secara haram di negara jiran. Pihak berkuasa telah meningkatkan pengawalan untuk menghalang penyeludupan, tetapi selagi adanya perbezaan harga yang besar, penyeludup akan terus dengan kegiatan haram ini.

        macam ni, subsidi semua cancel kan.

        ok, bila i boleh guna IC saya yang warna biru, pergi pejabat kerajaan ambik duit??

        tolak semua subsidi, jadi orang malaysia yang miskin macam mana?? Nak bagi duit free ker??

        kalau cam tu, tak pa, kita boleh share subsidi dengan orang asing.

        Macam kita boleh share negara with orang jawa yang jadi menteri besar.

        Apalah figure this and that.

        Tak kisahlah apa statistik yang kamu perolehi. Kerajaan sepatutnya menggunakan jalan penyelesaian alternatif yang dapat mengurangkan bebanan rakyat.

        Barangan yang diseludup dan dijual secara haram di negara jiran hanya melibatkan negara Thailand shj di rantau asia tenggara ini. Saya pasti pihak berkuasa M’sia di sempadan Thai-M’sia juga ‘give chance’ kpd penyeludup dgn menerima rasuah.

        Lihatlah betapa kuatnya ekonomi Singapura, M’sia patut mencontohi mereka. Tak hairanlah lagu kebangsaan mereka ialah ‘Majulah Singapura’ kerana mereka memang maju, salah sebuah negara yang mempunyai status global dan telah mencapai status negara berpendapatan tinggi (high income) sejak dahulu lagi (M’sia baru nak mula), kerajaan S’pura ‘transparent’, ‘efficient’ dan sentiasa menguatkuasakan undang2. Bolehland……ada undang2 ttp tidak berkuatkuasa.

        Slogan M’sia ‘Rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan’ —-> BULLSH*T
        Mereka kata bahawa sebahagian daripada penjimatan yang diperoleh melalui pegurangan subsidi akan digunakan utk biasiswa JPA—–> Simpan dalam poketlah, cronies!

        I dont think you understand what you are saying. Dont just follow the other people, think about it before you say it.

        Firstyly, how do you define “Rich” ? Based on net worth or month income, or every year renew a “wealth declaration card”.

        Secondly, why the rich cannot purchase subsidized sugar and petrol, should the rich be paying higher tariff for electricity and all subsidized purchases as well (just because they are rich). They cant enrol their son to national school, just because these schools are subsidized and they are rich. They must pay full toll fee (because toll fee is subsidized as well)?????

        Thirdly, how do you intend to implement all this. Check their statement, or classify them by race (this race is rich that race is poor), etc.

        Lastly, are you aware that, under normal circumstances, most rich people are the one paying much higher tax (compare to the so called poor who do even qualify to pay tax). Do you aware that the tax collected is partially used as subsidy?

        I certainly dont belong to the rich group whatever you definition of rich is, but I can seriously understand the implication of your suggestion (or your blahh blahh.)

        In your dictionary, fair means poor should get all benefits. In that case, why there is still 5-10% dedicated discount for purchasing property of more than 500-600k? Those who can afford 1 mi price tag, should they be classified as “Rich”, if yes why discount after discount still given to these group of rich people…and they are buying and buying and buying….

Kita only 28 juta. 40% income Malaysia dari hasil masyul al minyak, so knp rakyat tak layak dpt subsidi yg baik? ITU GULA made in Malaysia mali la. itu sebab la kita dpt gula murah sbb sbghn besar gula dunia dtg dari ladang gula di perlis/ kedah.

            bs
            macam mana nak tunjuk perform kalau agihan peruntukan tak adil. nak tanya
            1) dlm Wialayah perseketuan 95% MP dari Pakatan Rakyat, tapi knp DBKL/ menteri wilayah tak salur peruntukan pada MP Pakatan Rakyat
            2) brp byk BN bg duit scr langsung pd kerajaan negeri PR berbanding kerajaan negeri BN sedangkan rakyat negeri PR terutama Selangor dan Penang adalah penyumbang terbesar cukai kpd negara melalui LHDN
            3) apakah kerajaan negeri mempunyai agensi2 yg diperuntukkan kuasa menguatkuasa spt badan Polis, SPRM, JPJ, jabatan hutan, jabatan alam sekitar dll.
            4) apakah kerajaan negeri diberi kuasa penuh menukar semua penjawat awam di negeri masing2 tanpa akhbar2 UM NO dan kroni2 UM NO cuba memainkan isu bukan2. byk kes kita boleh lihat penasihat undang2 yg tidak adil (keterlampauan memihak UM NO). dalam kes perak misalnya SUK dan Penasihat undang2 menunjukkan dgn jelas mereka bukan penjawat awam yg bebas dan setia kpd pemerintah tanpa mengira fahaman politik
            5) apakah cukai2 penting spt cukai pendapatan, cukai koporat, cukai petroleum, cukai eksais, cukai jualan, cukai import masuk ke kantung poket kerajaan negeri. Sudah tentu tidak. cukai2 ini milik kerajaan pusat walaupun dikutip dari premis/ individu di negeri pakatan rakyat
            6) bagaimana dgn akta OSA dan lain2?
            7) apakah kerajaan negeri ada bidang kuasa mencukupi utk melaksanakan agenda Islam sedangkan hal ehwal agama adalah di bawah bidang kuasa Sultan dan diurus oleh Majlis Agama Islam Negeri?
            8) bagaimana dgn cubaan kerajaan pusat mengagalkan hasrat baik kerajaan negeri menyalurkan bantuan air percuma kpd rakyat scr berterusan melalui usaha pengambilalihan Puncak Niaga yg menguasai SYABAS (milik Bendahari UM NO Selangor). Jika kerajaan negeri bjaya, sudah tentu rakyat akan dpt 2 faedah iaitu faedah air percuma disamping faedah peningkatan pendapatan utk kerajaan negeri
            9) apakah semua agensi yg btgjwb meluluskan pelaburan langsung asing di bawah kuasa kerajaan negeri. Sudah tentu kerajaan pusat boleh sabotaj pelaburan ke negeri pakatan rakyat dgn meminta mereka memindahkan operasi ke negeri2 BN atau jika enggan, pelaburan mereka ke Malaysia tidak dibenar dibawa masuk dll

      Harga barang akan naik eventually be it BN, PR, Republican, Democrats, Taliban in Power. But there are lots of other ways to cushion the impact of harga barang naik. Like, memperkayakan rakyat dulu (bukan meperkayakan anak, cousin, jiran, driver, kawan baik, ketua cawangan etc). Kasi potong kepala sama itu orang2 kuat rasuah, mismanagement, komisyen, etc. Save that money first, provide good cheap or even free education, improve infrastructure (public transportation etc), remove the stupid car duty (program memperkayakan anak beranak “bumiputera” – PALA HOTAK BUMIPUTRA nko la camni.

Its all because Uncle sam country keep on printing its Dollar like toilet papers and got floated in the money market. If we start boycotting or reduce consuming US products, franchise, etc and all the third world and developing countries join in force doing this, atleast we wont face the pain that we are suffering now.

  • I’m ok with the price hike or removal of subsidies.. As long as our govt removes the excise duty, tariff & whatever tax they impose on the imported vehicle! It’s about time they allow free competition in the car industry. Imagine all the taxes we have to pay for the car that cost almost half the price you can get outside Malaysia. It’s a form of subsidies that we the Malaysian pay for our car!!!

      EVEN IMMIGRANTS can make their dream comes true in malaysia, if you’re getting nowhere , its not the government, its you!
      Malaysia is a great Nation and Mahathir is responsible for most of its success, and dont you ever forget that without him and his ideas (which now is being used by the US that criticized him before) Malaysia would have crumbled to pieces like our less fortunate neighbours back in 1997! ,

    a. Pertama, kesemua subsidi ini tidak menepati sasaran – ia memberi faedah juga kepada pihak yang tidak layak, iaitu warga asing dan rakyat yang berpendapatan tinggi yakni mereka yang mampu untuk membayar petrol tanpa subsidi. Fokus kita sepatutnya ialah bagi membantu golongan yang berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana bukan mereka yang memandu kereta import yang mewah. Subsidi gula yang berlebihan pula memberi faedah kepada industri-industri dan bukannya keluarga. Hampir dua kali ganda subsidi gula ini digunakan oleh sektor perniagaan berbanding isi rumah.

    b. Kedua, barangan yang bersubsidi tinggi selalunya membawa kepada aktiviti penyeludupan kerana pemberian subsidi telah menjadikan barangan ini paling murah di rantau ini. Pada tahun 2009 sahaja, ramai penyeludup telah ditangkap ketika cuba membawa keluar lebih 200 tan metrik gula. Sebenarnya, jumlah yang tidak dapat ditangkap kerana penyeludupan ini adalah lebih besar. Diesel terus diseludup dan dijual secara haram di negara jiran. Pihak berkuasa telah meningkatkan pengawalan untuk menghalang penyeludupan, tetapi selagi adanya perbezaan harga yang besar, penyeludup akan terus dengan kegiatan haram ini.

          Not all campus located conveniently within city center.
          Some campus located further outskirt and require car to travel to town.

          To even get out of university, you’ll need at least a motorcycle, which some parents doesn’t allow due to safety reason. So the best and safest option is car.

          In my time in campus without car, god knows how tough it is to ask help from friend for a ride outside for going to post office or to print my report book. You’ve got to be thick skinned to even borrow friends car, which of course people do reject sometimes.

          The problem is car and public transport. How can the government asked us to use public transport when out of klang valley it’s so inconvenient?

        salah ke kalau naik proton je smpi bila2..? bagus sgt ke keta selain proton tu?
        kalau mampu sgt, mustahil anda sibuk komplen kat sini kan?

        kalau buang subsidi terus tapi hapuskan tax pd kereta impot anda ingt anda mampu pakai kete jugak ke?

        setakat beli kete lepas tu simpan aje kat rumah sbb tak mampu nak bayar duit minyak nak buat apa..?

        i dont care for imported cars! just abolished tax on national cars is more than enough! government can raise even 50cents for all i care as long as the rakyat can afford at least a national car..

        dah la minyak naik, confirm brg lain pun akan naik..
        beban hutang kereta lagi nak tanggung..
        kalau kereta malaysia takde tax, at least hutang bulanan tu dah cukup rendah untuk cater benda lain..

        tu je..

          I know you don’t care about imported cars. Obviously, you never thought about the quality of existing national cars in the market. Why do you think people wants to buy imported cars – because we are rich???!!! No! I say, we buy good quality cars (irregardless whether it’s a foreign or national car) and we despise questionable quality cars for the sake of our hard earned money.

          What’s more the current national cars are being protected by the current horrifying tax being imposed on ALL foreign cars. Where’s the level playing field to encourage healthy growth for the automotive industry?

          On what basis you said that the states managed by the PR is not well-managed? Have you compared Penang and Selangor before and after the election?

    I gonna expect this thread to be very political where many irrational malaysians got pissed off and putting the blame to the BN gov.

    Trust me, even voting for PR or even if having Tony Pua as our finance minister (i can see Tony Pua will handle our country finance very well), the fuel price increase is invertible. Oil is decreasing and to make matters worse demand esp from emerging nations like China and India is increasing. U know the basics of economies, price increase when supply is low but demand is high.

    No point blaming BN for this or voting for the next gov as it is invertible. Just vote for the next gov who will handle our country efficiently and less wasteful. U know who to pick in 2012.

      uhhh.

      I think we do have free education (primary and secondary – correct me if im wrong) and also free health system (to a certain extent)?

      You see, its easy to rant, and complain but the fact is, why are most motoring companies are moving towards EV and fuel cell vehicles? Unfortunately the grave fact is, the oil supply is depleting.

      This is basic economics. High demand, with no changes in supply, or changes in supply that will not be able to cope with the size of demand change, will increase prices. And, the fact is, i dont want my tax money being used to fill up rich people’s car/SUV/Ferrari/Hummer/(insert expensive car here) tank. Subsidies are artificial tools to lower prices. It involves another invisible paying hand with your petrol/sugar/gas purchase.

      If you want to live comfortably, maybe start educate yourself that you need to pay for it. If not, live within your means.

          JacKAI,
          http://www.etawau.com/edu/Department/EducationSystem.htm indicates that Malaysia provides 11 years of free education. I think what parents are paying for nowadays are really school charges, not education charges.

          Appeals in papers for medical treatment donations does not really float well with what we are discussing as those are extreme cases. I suggest you walk in to a government hospital or health clinic, and i think you are only charged RM1 for registration and the consultation + medication is free. In fact, i even did a HPT (hepa~something to check my liver) test two or three years back and i was not charged a single sen.

          I agree with your rationale on the matter, the lack of alternative transports, and to add to that, the current situation with our automotive sector (protectionist tax structure and tariffs). But my comments are generally aimed at the concept of providing subsidies, be it to fuel, sugar, gas, even to P1 and P2. The current situation we are in is not conducive for the future generation, we need to get rid of the subsidy and TARIFF currently being used to protect some organizations, then we can financially cope with the costs of living, as the Malaysian economy move back to its equilibrium.

    tak perlu kecoh kecoh, minyak akan tetap naik jugak sebab minyak pun tak lama lagi nak habis, kira syukur lah naik 0.05 sen klau naik 0.50 lagi banyak orang merungut. kira okay naik 0.05 sen boleh korang plan budget untuk masa akan datang. aku bukan nak sokong kerajaan dengan hal ni tapi aku merungut pun tak guna bukan boleh di ubah pun lebih fikir cara untuk budget sebab harga minyak naik senang masa depan _peace_

      What is there to be syukur of? Just look at the current wastage of public funds and money being siphoned by those in power. Any increases must also be balanced with some form of reduction i.e energy efficient cars and income tax. I wanna see how thankful you will be when these increases will be even worst in the future.

    If the Gov is serious about helping the rakyat then it should reduce the income tax for the lower income brackets and increase the maximum tax for the higher income groups. Now if ure earning 10K a month ull pay 27% tax. If ure earning 100K per month u will still pay the same amount of tax. What the heck!

      Totally agree! Just want to add, the rich are individuals, and don’t forget: large companies. These companies should not only pay more tax, but should raise the income of their employees. Let the G get even more from these large companies by collecting the increased income tax from large companies’ employees after they are given a good salary revision! Do it like in the western countries!

  • I am a little odd: I think the move of reducing subsidies is just right. Think further, avoid nation bankrupcy. This nonetheless, is the best income source for a nation rather than to totally depend on the non-renewable resources. We have less than 10 years to realise the aspiration of 2020. We aim to achieve high income status in the year of 2020… See More. These are not possible if we still retain the metality of wanted to be subsidised by the government. I suggest a national financial education programme be implemented to enhance the basic financial literacy among Malaysians should the lifting of subsidies would caused personal financial stress. This kind of programme had long ago been launched in many developed countries like Holland, Australia and New Zealand. There is one chinese idioms that says: cut a tangled skein of jute with a sharp knife (?????), which means to resolve a complicated problems in an instant. So solve the problems without hesitation. Malaysia should not be left behind. We need all possible concerted efforts to transform the nation with new mindset and attitude. If we do not do it fast, we can forsee there would be a bleak future of the nation. It is going to be as ill-fated as what the third countries are currently experienced.

          dude… chill lah… cuts in subsidies are bound to happen to simulate growth in the economy and also to maintain economic health. i understand where you are coming from… you are pissed because with all these subsidy cuts, overall quality of life of the rakyats have not improved.

          you can’t blame the kerajaan for cutting subsidy as these are measures to maintain economic health. on the other hand, if the quality of life is deteriorating, then something needs to be done to the present kerajaan.

          as a contrast… i read that some singaporeans are not happy that things are getting expensive these days. the recent complain is the rise in public transport fare for some. but the difference between singapore and malaysia is… the kerajaan of singapore does give back to its rakyat. public transportation have improved tremendously, crime rate is low, medical and education fee is low, etc.

          but the same can’t be said for the present kerajaan of malaysia. their report card is tainted with corruption and scandal to the highest level.

      it is right to remove the subsidies..but how about the right of the rakyats??? such as public transport?? or tax for car and motorcycle?? better roads?? it should be fair..if G take back the subsidies, they should give something to rakyat that can make their life better…isn’t it?? i don’t think that G only make money by taxing the rakyat, G must have a lot of way to make money..if not..i don’t think they were a good G..make money by taxing rakyat?? i think lot of people don’t mind to pay higher fuel prices if the car are more cheaper, they will have a lot of choices, they can buy cars with better fuel consumptions.. if comparing all the national cars with others, still the fuel consumptions is not good..even KIA and Hyundai have the fuel efficient cars compared to our national cars right now..see the points?? G take back the subsidies, and rakyat have a better choices of car to save their fuels money..they can used it for buying the high prices of foods.. (harga minyak naik.sume harga barang naik, betulkan??) that’s all… dun know how to say it anymore..just u said malaysian needs new mindset..but i think G also should have a new mindset..otherwise in PRU13, they will get their rewards fro the rakyat..

    • Hi TEC,
      I concur to your statement, now, my only concern is that, under the “bright leadership”, it’s going to be the same even if they cut down subsidies, money will still not be used to implement good things in our nation. If there is transparency, I wouldn’t mind, what if, and I say, what if, the G is saying that they need more money to protect the government in the near future?

      Now, simple as this, we work as a middle class, earning maybe RM5,000/ month, it’s good enough for living. Where as, some higher earning folks, earning RM20,000/ month, are you saying that they are guaranteed to have enough money to spend each month?

      Same theory, If you need to develop your nation, use what you have, and my god, we are one of the most resourceful countries in the world, can you believe that we are saying we are about to go bankrupt as a nation?

      don’t forget the stupid MP from Sabah that married an actress, went to court in a Cayenne.

      He’s not even a minister. So damned rich.

      Max salary maybe 10k,plus maybe some allowance for living in KL, maybe amounting to less than RM10k. How much a honeymoon trip to Europe cost?Even airasiaX to London cost 1.5k one way per person.And I don’t think this MP went to Europe backpacking(already tua maaa,sakit belakang, ada bini muda lagi).
      This guy also had another (first) wife, so that’s another extra financal commitment.
      That Cayenne,if second hand, may cost RM6-8k monthly installment. And I don’t think he’s driving a Hilux in Sabah. Maybe another Cayenne or LandCruiser 200. Maybe another one for first wife.

      Man, this guy is living like a CEO of a GLC,but without answering to shareholders.
      I want to be an MP too. A BN MP,not opposition MP, or independent MP like Zulkifli Nordin that only ride old junk Virago 535 to Parliament.

    Prices of many many goods will definitely go UP since price increase in sugar, vehicle fuel and cooking gas will all cause the domino effect. Our salary (mid & lower income group) increments will not be able to keep up with the rate of this inflation. In the end our buying power keeps on decreasing, which means we get relatively poorer. But… PM says he wants to make Malaysia a country with high income earners. He’d better make sure!

    And come on people, be rational. Change of government won’t help this matter, the prices is going no matter what.

    What really important is what they will do with the surplus money from the saved subsidies. If they can put more effort into public transport, abolished the AP and reduce the car tax.

    they will promise better Health Care …

    The new incoming G will :-
    1. Give the rakyat real car price… abolish the excise and sales tax
    2. Implement a practical car ownership scheme, fair interest rate
    3. Abolish all tolls, revamp the loop-sided toll agreement… where in the world anyone sign an agreement guarantee of profits? Business world, either u make or lose… there is no guarantee… but in bolehland, they sign agreement guarantee of profits, regardless of any situation. what an “intelligent” agreement… hah! suck my foot

    Hmmm, it starts with 5 sen, quite ok rite? well, it is just a slow and steady tactic, later another 5 and some more. Slowly it will hit RM 2.00 lit for RON 95 and will adjust further depending on good reason or excuses available in the future.

    The RON 97, will probably lose all subsidy.

    Remember the frog on burner experiment.

    Nonetheless, please enjoy the subsidised fuel whilst it is still available.

    Anyone knows how this petrol subsidy works?
    Does the Gov have to pay compensation to the oil companies for every liter of petrol we use?
    Or is it the amount of tax the Gov has to forgo every time we fill up the vehicle?

    Petrol price will definitely have to go up, but other things can come down. Malaysians are so heavily taxed.

    please lower tax for low income group and tax higher for high income group. please improve federal roads. please dont raise any tolls charges. please dont increase anymore civil services officers, especially for office or admin works but increase number of doctors, police officers and teachers.

    Anyone still remembered the recent Credit Card Tax of RM50? This has JUST settled down and now we’re in another round form of tax by reducing subsidy.

    Why Malaysia will go bankrupt when we’re all the while rich in natural resources? Our neighbor country no natural resources also doing better and stronger in their economy. IT IS THE CORRUPTION IN THE COUNTRY driving it bankrupt. It’s like tank where fresh water (aka natural resources, service output, finished goods output) pour into the tank but holes within the tank (corruptions) and many of them and keep adding will drain the water in the tank faster than the people can use the water for good purposes, ie. development of infrasturctures etc.

    True that changing government might not stop the commodity prices from going up but THE CHANGE voted by every Malaysia tell whoever the new rulling party that if you’re not going perform your job by sealing off those holes in the tank and make good use of the water to benefit the people, someone will take over you and carry out what’s required by the citizen of Malaysia.

    Vote wisely, everyone.

    G always says that in order to save more rakyat money, G need to revamp the subisidy policy. Hence, reduced subsidy. However, G need to be reminded that subsidy is a compulsory in every countries i.e. Japan, UK etc. To save money, I think alternatively, G needs to look at their mega project for rakyat. Many of the project cost or contract are overpaid. Yang untung…kontraktor which is thier kroni. The closest example is Empangan Bakun

    I am not against the removal of subsidies. But all i see is imbalance. Subsidies cut. Consumer purchasing power, drop. Government spending, increasing every year. Somehow, it feels to me that subsidies are removed to cover debt, nothing to benefit rakyat. Why they spend the money first, now only think of ways to cover debt? Bad management. How to trust them anymore?

    Finally, car taxes must go. it is eroding our wealth. Why must the normal cars be taxed? tax only the luxury cars la! imagine, paying extra 20-30% for car tax. That money can be used for children’s education, medical, house, etc.!

  • I think most of us commenting here really never take care about what’s happening… what is NKRA, and how does it help people.. I suggest we all go to http://www.transformation.gov.my to read about the plan and http://www.pmo.gov.my to read about what have been done in all six NKRA introduced. Take your time for some reading…

    We cannot just think for ourself… You see, there are still people in rural area need development and need to raise their living standards. What’s more, the government has now willing to give scholarship to EVERYBODY who gets 9A+ in SPM.. As a result, the it will increase the costs for education.

    When we said free education, let just not look at schools only. How many of you realised about the training centres, community college which trains the students in rural area? These students came from poor family and needed to be helped. That’s why the G is not reducing the subsidy in theses area but increasing it from the 750 million savings.

    These 750million of saving will doubled the next year if the government can cut more subsidy on other areas in the near future. I also want to point out about our mind set that the fuel hike is for the G and its political master’s benefit. Think for yourself. When Idris Jala’s Pemandu having an open day to explain and get feedback on these subsidy rationalization activity, how many of us aware of it? How many of us has take our chances to give our “intelligently oxford economist expert” feedback to them? I can bet not too many of us here know about this. You guys can read the presentation here http://scr.bi/cMnRST

    Most of us here are comfortable enough, just to say that we able to use the internet and know a thing or two about computers. Those who are in rural area, they are suffering a lot. Have u guys ever live in kampongs to see how difficult life is? Have u guys ever been using sampans to go to school, or had to wake up early and go to ‘motong’ before going to school? I bet none of you ever felt this.

    I think we should accept and face the reality of subsidy. When the G’s debt go up and higher, one day we will still have the subsidy cut… So let’s start from now… Accept that all these year we have been spending our expenditure at the mercy of been subsidized… I can guarantee you, even when PR governs, this will be inevitable..

    Adiosssssaaaa….

    The problem is not the Subsidy, its the non-free-competition of the market, the controlled resources like using AP, and import car tax to eliminate the competition.
    In the same time, DO NOT build any alternative like public transport so people are stucked in no way out but to buy a car.

    The high car price is much more evil to the raise of petrol price. Imagine your loan need to add interest, and your car ultimately got no return, and we work for 7 or 9 years for this piece of junk metal. We can travel less to safe fuel, but even we dont drive the car, the loan we still paying for it. even raise to RM2.8 per liter, that like 20% higher than your monthly bill, we are pumping from RM300 to RM360. RM60 extra per month for 7 years is RM5040 only! How much we paying more of the car? RM5K? go figure it out.

    The problem is the HIGH CAR PRICE.

    PEMANDU said that Malaysia is going to be bankrupt by 2019 (if not mistaken) personally i feel Malaysia is going to be bankrupt because of those corrupt officer. From what I see is that SPRM is not doing the right job. For example Khalid gave LEMBU to rakyat SPRM WANT TO SIASAT BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION ? WHAT THE HECK IS ALL THIS ? How about those case that involved the lousy boot wear by POLICE? how about the screwdriver set that cost RM10 that will reach RM1000 when submitted to government ? Where is the report from SPRM ? What did they do ? Until now i didnt heard any news from them ? Those big big corrupt case involve BN they close case but those involve giving LEMBU TO RAKYAT they wanna charge them for corruption? Please be fair, RAKYAT is not stupid like old times, nowdays we got a lot of latest news from anywhere, dont try to lie or cover up. I personally feel its ok to raise the price of petrol, with just increase of 5 cent, for a full tank of oil it might just save me rm3. But the most annoying thing is that when i think that the money spent will be wasted in corruption somemore, so whats the point of saving subsidy when in the first place the government can’t even deal with corruption, U SETTLE THE CORRUPTION IN MALAYSIA THEN ONLY TALK TO US RAKYAT ABOUT SUBSIDY CUT, if you cannot terminate corruption but at least reduce it, let’s c what the government will saved, the money saved will be even more than the 700 million subsidy cut this time. Horray to BN aka BARANG NAIK.

    You want some changes in the government policies you have to change the government or we will stuck with it for ever and ever. No matter who our PM, if it’s the same political party so the policies is still the same. They have been cut our subsidies for more than 5 years and what happen to the subsidy money? What is the contribution that our government have given personally that have effect on you or me..mostly the middle class citizens. We still have to pay for every thing and the public transportation is still not getting any improvement, the car price is still high, the tol price is getting higher, food price is getting higher, sugar is always out of stock…so.. it’s all just the same no matter what, but now they taken our money, our subsidies money, rakyat money, and they betray us while using the slogan “Rakyat didahulukan, Pencapaian diutamakan”. Why vote for the same government if we know they are going to take away our subsidies? It’s our choice. Do you vote for someone that promise to cut your allowance?

    Yes, 5 dalam 1 konon, lets BUNGKUS them in the next election and show the people power. Rakyat didahulukan, pencapaian diutamakan AKA rakyat dikenakan kenaikan harga dulu, keuntungan diutamakan. Lame reason, all this happen because of the report said that MALAYSIA going to be bankrupt by 2019, all this is base on financial planning, how you manage the money, how you tackle the corruption and avoid the money leakage, last time when the petrol price raise up to RM2.70 per liter, they said the money saved will be used to improve public transport, but i didnt see any improvement at all except those GAJAH PUTIH PROJECT ALL OVER MALAYSIA. Buy a submarine that cost MALAYSIA 7.3 BILLION RINGGIT. Does this submarine really needed by MALAYSIA ? ARE WE GOING FOR WORLD WAR 4 OR 5. Come on man all this ridiculous. Our rakyat money is spent on all this useless stuff. Surely this BN aka Barang Naik party is not going to survive next general election. With so much issue going around unsolved, rakyat is definately going again the current government. Submarine scandal, Teoh Beng Hock dead, Altantuya dead and so on. No project mana ada untung, so more and more project goes on that might not be needed by Rakyat, from 100K project reach 2nd party 200k reach 3rd party 400k reach 5th party 600k finally reach government tender 10 million. Wow salute to those ppl that so clever that think we are so stupid. The opposition government might not be very good or experience, but at least we can give them a try and they might do even better for rakyat, who knows. Unless we dare to change then only we know what is really happening to Malaysia financial. Now the current government is in control of everything include SPRM and POLICE, they will cover up any bad case or close case. Only by changing the government we will know the truth behind all this scandals.

        Stop watching those Peterporn videos. Watch tv news, read newspapers and blogs. Read good books too. Don’t be an ignorant.

      petrol prices in msia is set by the govt not by the market, so yes it is political. and since cars dont run on air milo, they are political as well. you just crawled from under a coconut husk or released from a bn hatchery call sek keb?

    guys2 cool….. relax…… there is nothing we can do now but to think how to reduce da impact of high price of fuel, for instance where can we check for da floating price for RON 97? anybody? p/s: maybe floating price is gud afterall coz when the fuel is cheaper who knows its gonna be cheaper than RON 95 ehehe praying hard later ahaha

    Hmmmm still didnt see any electronic board for displaying the price of RON 97 at any petrol station….. guess have to ask for my fav petrol station no & call up b4 going for refuelling ehehe.

    Geng, aku pun tak setuju naik harga ni…

    tapi buatla pengiraan skit…”Sugar will go up by RM0.25 per kg to RM1.75″
    sehari korang pakai gula berapa kilo? Aku pakai 1 minggu sekilo..
    sebulan@4 minggu x 0.25sen = RM1.00.. baru je naik RM1 sebulan..

    orang kite marah gile ni sbb orang kita kuat makan.. minum pun suka manis2..

    Korang rasa jika PKR memerintah:
    – harga petrol RM1/Liter??? – akibatnya negara takde duit utk buat projek
    – Semua projek mega batal – akibatnya kompeni supplier gulung tikar/buang pekerja
    – ramai takde keje – lagi la teruk, nak isi minyak petrol pun takde duit..
    – ramai orang takde duit – jenayah mencuri/ragut merata-rata..
    – jenayah merata-rata – aku nak lari ke negara lain..haha

    cara yang paling tepat untuk kerajaan dapat wang..kenakan cukai tinggi pada orang asing..baru betul..
    -mereka isi minyak di malaysia kena guna Dollar AS (1 USD/Liter)..
    – mereka naik komuter kena bayar USD setiap trip..kalau rakyat malasia bayar rm2, mereka USD2..

    Sape setuju sila “LIKE”..thanks :D

    What a stupid reason given by 1M PM “those who are not eligible… incl high earners also get the subsidi…”

    Whey… high earners (normally) use more, thus contribute more in term of sale of those items. One more they also pay MORE TAX.
    So they’re not eligible for what they’ve been paying???
    Sigh… really stupid reason!

    when petrol rise to RM 2.70 on 2008 before….there are rarely to see mat rempit….bersin cars (turbo) and majoriti people drove following the speed limits….
    But goverment need to make sure they use our money on right way….
    All comment above about rasuah and corruption was really happen…and as rakyat….we have out right to make the goverment as a “kerajaan lemah” (means they win only 50% ++ on parlimen….). Then BN will work hard to improve their job…like Khir Toyo that always bashing the selangor about the korek pasir…..

    *i just stay with my old iswara….no extra money to buy new car…..

    This is a bit far fetched but I wonder if there’s any brave soul in Malaysia who’d like to start something like bringing in an E.V and also setup the charging points powered by solar in day time but supplied by grid in night time. Sure, it’s going to require a gargantuan capital to say the least but think of the benefits. Of course, this is also an excellent time for P1 to launch their Proton Emas (don’t hold your breath, though). Otherwise, it’s another case of “pi mai pi mai tang tu, kaki naik kematu”.

    The reality is we got the wrong gomen for the past 50 years!!! If Singapore is SO WAY AHEAD DESPITE NO NATURAL RESOURCES then our gomen must be doing everything wrong? Can you believe that we are so blessed with natural resources and no planning to to utilize every bit of those precious and finite at our disposal? And now we are told that Malaysia will go BANKRUPT and oil is sure to deplete within 10 years period.

  • The car industry in Malaysia has strong correlation with Proton. We vote down the stupid government in the coming election, it will bring down Proton too. 27 Million rakyat subsidizing 10,000 Proton workers. This doesn’t make sense especially when you have fuel guzzler Campro as engine plus fuel price hike. The car quality and workmanship is very terrible. Squeaking sound here and there. Subsidized by duit rakyat some more. Arghhhh. Bungkus saja ini government! We will kill 1000 crony birds with 1 stone.

    After reading this all I can say is that Malaysian is only just a 3rd world and nobody can change this mentality of oil addiction. Look what we have here, Malays, Indians all going after my penis for total physical vestige. With not a single shame upon themselves up to date. Regards.
