Petrol price increase - 汽油涨价

5th of June, 2008

from today onwards, people had to pay RM2.70 per liters for the petrol fuel.

This is the first time in the history of Malaysia for the increase rate, 78sen at a time. (if compare to the previous one, 10sen, 20sen, or 40sen).

A day before this happen, there’s a minister who said that the price won’t increase until August. But things change dramatically when PM announced the petrol price.Just to show the different, a simple calculation here.

If a car need 50 liters,
Before: RM1.92 per liters. Total price: 1.92 X 50 = 96
After: RM2.70 per liters. Total price: 2.70 X 50 = 135

It’s totally a burden for Malaysian, especially those who drives.

Other than this, there’s another bad news coming. The electricity price for the peninsular west would increase too. Reason – the company’s cost to generate power had increase due to the petrol price.

Well, just wish everyone can survive and overcome things that gonna happen since everything would become more expensive for the coming days. And learn to SAVE – 节俭.

?? any chance that money will drop from the sky ?? just like what happened in Indonesia.
