costs of living gone up

Damn! Costs of living gone up once again! How to survive with no increase in pay? Feel sorry for the average wage earners. Though cost of interest is still low for borrowing funds yet I think it won't stay at the present rate for long. The contraction of the housing industry is overhung by 15,000 units yet the housing needs can't be satisfied. Maybe wrong location wrong strategy. It should move to where the people are concentrated not in any place just because of creating jobs and businesses. Proper planning is lacking in our end system. Wrong designs, faulty engineering works, delayed completion and poor services. These add up to the collapse of an industry.

The petrol increased by 10cts and diesel by 20cts and the transport companies said they are going to hike the cost by 40% and so would be other products...The government said it couldnt subsidize any more. If that is the case let the market forces decide. Let it be open and a free trade to compete for customers...There is always a hint of brown envelopes passing baton..See before the increase of oil prices there was the shortage of diesel in the country. It started in Sarawak and the minister said it was under control; then the unfolding events happening in the peninsula and he started to scratch his head to find solutions....so price increase!

The PM has a bunch of idiots in his line up. He dares not change his cabinet. He wanted to be nice and feel happy about it. He forgets he has to serve the people. I think he has forgotten about the mandate given to him during the last election......Too many increases to side the business communities So the cronies/companies harvest more money until the next election whining about it once again

Cost of living gone up and I have to dream how to make it easy for me. It is not easy for me to scrap through every month. As it is I am still enjoying myself but only for the poor average earners who have to belt it up
