Petrol Hike



A sudden leap from RM1.90 to RM2.70 (not accurate).

And by August, it would be RM4.00. That would approximately cost a Proton Wira owner to pay RM150 to pump full tank of fuel.

Speculations were made.

Some say that this is how politicians get back at the public. Some say it would be the inefficiency of the Government.

Some say this would do good in the bigger picture.

It would always be an undeniable fact that petrol, would eventually deplete. It is utterly inevitable.

It is also undeniable that Malaysians generally have a high tendency in taking things for granted. In this case, it is petroleum.

Enough for the introduction, time for the main issues.

1.Transportation is universal. It has a vicious chain reaction to everything.

2.Cost of living has increased, it's either you save more or earn more.

3.It is predicted that traffic would decrease tremendously by August.

4.Owners of the petroleum business would have to channel their capital to other industries.

5.People would travel less, which includes air flights.

6.The Government claims to set the subsidy on other sectors. Let's hope it would be a wise move.

7.Last highlight, it's a great wake up call, from God Himself.

Earlier today, I was conversing with my cousin's boyfriend. He's a car enthusiast. And true enough, the passion remains burning to continue investing into his interest. Individuals like him, gets it the most when events like this occurs. The car industry will never be the same.

I do agree with what my friend mentioned. We need to churn income from other nations. We need to continue encourage the mindset of "Earn more, spend more" and not "Save more, spend less".

Oh and yes, perhaps the bicycle industry here might actually have a great pool of business.



Ean, let's open a business to Zheng their bicycles eh?


Thanks for your time.

God bless, cheers.
