goods hike

This New Year goods and services will increase. Visit Malaysia Year 2007 welcome to the cost of rising prices. Though I hear reports that it won't increase but reality bites. How come the minister or prime minister never goes to the ground and see what is happening? Making speeches people forget after the talk. It is the concrete result that would make the difference. Nay I have to pay more now. My regular stall here has increased his selling price. A bowl of assam laksa jumps to $0.30 to $2.80 previously was $2.50 even meat mee soup jumps by 10%. When the petrol was increase the cost of goods jumped too. Now nearer to CNY it jumps up again. Will the minister really go to the market and find out? I doubt these ministers ever do that unless it is near to election time then I could find them walking in the market or hawkers' stalls. Every election it is the same routine. Time to change. The present government has served its purpose. For nearly 50 years the rakyat gave them to rule. But what happen in the end? We pay through our noses to feed these ministers for not helping the people by their business friends. I read somewhere the petrol price should be $1.42/litre instead of current $1.92/litre. Yet the government never changes it but allowed the petrol companies to collect the extra $0.50/litre. On top of that the government allowed the toll companies to increase the toll charges on its lopsided contracts. If they have the hearts of the people, the government should take over the companies and dismantle the tolls. Perhaps the government can introduce it within the city limits so that it wont get congested other areas should be free flow...As I said before previtization projects cost the people traumas. Because it benefits some people at the expense of the general populace. Like the case of our road tax discs. It can't last the season. Even for a half year road tax disc it starts to peel off within 3-4 months. And JPJ will charge you $50 for a replacement when in the first place it is the product that is flawed!! Will the PM take corrective action on this? I dont think he sees his own road tax disc on his cars or official cars. He should go and take a look every time he walks into his car(s) Now Cuepacs want salary increase but the delivery system is still very bad! The civil service should have equal proportion of the races in the workforce. In this way Malaysia can progress in the globalized world. Ketuanan Melayu is for the politicians who always wanted to tell lies anyway. If you listen to these people, you puke it in your brain. They never get scared of The Lord...Pity really that we elect these people to power and eventually we get booted out...Next time play wise.
