Today our beloved and honest Prime Minister made an announcement again. I am not sure if you guys should feel happy or you should pee in your pants because of the scary feeling, the feeling of being cheated and the feeling of not able to survive anymore due to increase of price in almost anything and everything.
The headline from the StarNewspaper, "
FUEL PRICE INCREASES CAPPED". Here are the highlights,
"However, the Government realised that the rakyat is still trying to adapt to the higher petrol prices. The Cabinet has thus decided there will be no more increase this year.” I'm seriously wondering if he is going to give us all a BIG SUPRISE again tomorrow or next week, if you get what I mean. If you don't, it shows that you have not been reading newspaper and especially the honest statements made by our Prime Minister.
Talking about us, the rakyat trying to adapt to the higher petrol prices... He also mentioned that Ministers' and deputy ministers' allowances will be slashed by a WHOOPING 10%..(excuse me, 10%?) and their PAID HOLIDAYS limited to local and ASEAN destinations to help the Government to save RM2 billion this year.
PAID HOLIDAYS limited to local and ASEAN destinations? What the hell is this man? Does that mean that all this while our ministers have been using the
rakyat's (taxpayer) hard-earned money and visit Europe, Africa, North Pole and probably around the world? Who knows? They might have made a few trips around the world with our parents' money and our money. I don't think this is fair because we earn our own money and travel using our own money. These baskets travel for free and worst of all, Europes etc. Do they go alone? I don't think so..I am sure they brought their wives and kids. Click

Sometimes, I just feel like smashing my laptop's screen or tear the newspaper whenever I read those sincere comments made by our Prime Minister. Let me quote some sentences made by him and also my humble comments:
"The savings will be channelled to subsidies for low-income groups,"
- How? What? When? Who? So damn vague and he thinks we are stupid. What an intelligent statement!
“Everybody will have to be thrifty in these difficult times, including the Government. Therefore, we are taking these measures to ensure administrative expenses are spent wisely. We have to show leadership by example.”
- Show leadership by example? Slash all the entertainment expenses and pay for your own holidays lor...show by example~ma!! Take public transport to work~la instead of having a driver.
"Official overseas trips will be limited to important international or inter-governmental meetings, with not more than three officers sent, and even then only those directly involved."
- Does that mean that previously its a practise to bring a big group of cheerleaders along to official meetings?
I was rather quite pissed the day when he announced that the price is going to be increased to RM2.70/litre after midnight. I wouldn't have been so angry if he fulfilled his promise that we might see an increase in August instead of June or July. But within a few hours, he made that announcement and the whole nation went havoc, feeling cheated and feeling depressed heading towards the petrol station to pump petrol for the very final last time at RM1.92/litre before saying goodbye to the familiar numbers.
The very next day, he asked us to ubah gaya hidup(change our lifestyle). Bloody hell, he just indirectly changed our lifestyle over the night with the surprise announcement without giving us a warning or a timeline. Change lifestyle. I suggest that the ministers and PM himself try taking public transport to work, get squeezed like sandwich in LRT/KTM and don't use the policemen's help to clear the way for this big shots during traffic jam hours.
Do you all remember when he said that the Parliament will not be dissolved when speculations were flying around? Few hours later, he dissolved the Parliament for the coming general election.
Like what he said just now,"We have to show leadership by example." Tomorrow I will go to my boss and say,
"Boss, I love working with you. I will never quit and will die for this company." Before 545pm, I hand in my resignation letter. Our beloved PM taught me this trick.
"Boss, I will secure this client's business for you. Sure can help you hit the revenue target this year". Next moment, I quit and join my client's company and seek for the services of my boss's competitor. Our beloved PM taught me this method.
"Dad, I will help you to bank-in this money by evening at the nearest bank." Next moment, I bank-in all my dad's money into Genting's casino cash deposit machine. My beloved PM taught me this.
"Father-in-law, I am going to propose to your eldest daughter next week. Can I have your blessing?" Next moment, I proposed to his youngest daughter. PM ajar punya.
"Students, I will give you all some tips for tomorrow's exam. I will be testing you guys on capital restructuring and forex exchange. Please study!!" Next day, I hand out the exam paper about Ethics and Corporate Governance. Muahaha..caught ya'all students!! I am a big fan of PM, must act and talk like him!
Oh well, imagine if everyone follows him as an example, Malaysia will be a fun country to live in. Don't you think so? I trully agree. Sometimes I wish he can just shut his mouth and continue sleeping like how he does during official meetings or official opening of an event.
Personally, I feel that it can be true that the price of fuel wont rise again for this year. Why? Because UMNO general election coming~ma. We shall see what happens after December.
