BREAKING NEWS: Petrol Price increase to RM2.70

This just in: NST Online and radio stations have confirmed that the price of petrol will be increased by RM0.78 to RM2.70 by midnight tonight!!! Read about the petrol price increase on NST Online.

Cars are already packing up the petrol stations queuing to fill up their petrol tanks before the new rates apply in several hours time. Pump up if you have half tank and below for it might not be worth the time and effort if you have little to fill up. Your choice tonight to pump at the current rate but come tomorrow, we’re all subjected to RM2.70 per litre.

I acknowledge that this piece of news is not related to interior design or home decoration but I just thought I’d share the news with those of you who might not have heard it through your friends or other media, yet.

Man, my ‘kai fan’ (chicken rice) is gonna naik harga… along with almost everything else.

Petrol Price Hike

FYI- In an article in The Star, dated 31st May 2008, Najib brushed off claims that petrol price would increase by 40 sen. The man sure is correct in saying so- it did not increase by 40 sen… it just increased by 78 sen!!!

There’ll be less disposable money to go around with this new increment. This would also mean that there’ll be less money to be spent on improving one’s lifestyle, which could mean not throwing out their old sofa set, not changing their termite-infested kitchen cabinet and they’ll just postpone fixing in a new bath tub in their toilet which they’ve planned for quite some time.

And this could mean that there’ll be alot of interior designers losing their rice bowls.

Adrian, I am afraid the price hike is not going to spare anyone…

Worst still, they’re going to review the price on a monthly basis. This increase has tremendous adverse impact especially on low wage earners.

Hey, what’s wrong with your site? I can’t seem to access it.
