Funny things happen in Malaysia

#1 The Government calculated that the people didn't pay for RM0.78 increase on the petrol price after they get the reimbursement. It is some sort like about RM0.23 increase. Bu tone question: why didn't the governemtn directly use the RM625 reimbursement as subsidy, but instead get the peopl into trouble to go to the post office, queue up and fill up form for reimbursement?

#2 The Gabungan Badan NGO Malaysia Yang Menyokong Perdana Menteri is going to rally for PM on 12 July in Putrajaya, and estimated 20000 people will attend the rally and show support for PM. Why the rally? Is it approved?

#3 Kedah Menteri Besar called for a project to log Kedah and he said RM16million will be earned from the "NATURE KILLING" activity, and he felt proud of it. Someone please lecture him on saving Mother Nature.

#4 Selangor PR government is in trouble over corruption lawsuit.

#5 Singapore is a small island with very good infrastructure and public transport. Their MRT covers most parts of the island and the buses are easily accessed from every corner of the island. Now they postpone the Penang Monorail project and the island bus services are like snails on arrival and departure, and a road maniac on the journey. Ish!

#6 I support Dr M and his brain!

back from KK, down with gastric

Just came back from KK...but was on medical leave for two days due to gastric. Dunno how I got the gastric thingy, maybe due to the fact that I was alone at the education fair in KK and had no time for lunch for two days.

Sigh!

since everyone is doing this

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

I have no life anymore

An increase of 78 cents on petrol all around Malaysia; from the original RM1.92 per litre to the new RM2.70 per litre, is putting all Malaysians from all walks of life jumping from their seats. I wouldn't said that it is not right to increase the petrol price and removing the subsidy, but such drastic and sudden increase will result in negative impacts towards the country economy, with the decrease of near 30 points in KLSE yesterday.

And how about the feeling and life of the people?

First we see a price increase in rice, which hiked up all food price, and now we are thrown to face such high increase in petrol price. What is the trend here? Are the government out of money to spend? Are we going bankrupt? Is there a motive or agenda behind all these? To make people feel that we cannot afford to have a change in government or leadership under such strenous time? I wouldn't want to speculate because there are so many possibilities.

But one thing for sure, a lot of people will suffer especially families that earn just enough but now have to be taken to task to cope with at least RM100-200 increase in petrol spending. And that's on petrol alone.

We all know there is going to be a superb chain reaction.

Petrol price increase = everything increase.

So we are not going to only spend more on petrol, but on daily expenses as well.

Thank you Pak Lah.
