Red Alert! Petrol price RM2.70 per litre!

OMFG! Who are they shitting? A RM0.78 increase per litre is murder. I mean, I know that the government is paying something like RM55B in subsidy but the least they could do was do a gradual increase or something. Increase it RM0.20 per month or something ,you know? At this rate, I demand political figures to ride a bicycle or walk to the office. If I have to see one of them in a nice petrol guzzling car that is paid with our money, hell hath no fury... Mark my words, once petrol price goes up, everything else will too. We're still struggling with rice crisis, now this! Gee, thanks a lot Pak Lah. Way to go to show an understanding of the people's needs.
