Group protests petrol price hike

A group of people gathered here Thursday to voice their dissatisfaction over the petrol price hike announced Wednesday by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

The group of about 200 people, consisting DAP leaders, non-governmental organisations and unions, started assembling in front of the Federal Building here at Jalan Datuk Seri Ahmad Said at 11am and dispersed 30 minutes later. The protesters carried placards and banners criticising the increase. No untoward incidents were recorded although several policemen were on standby. Ipoh Barat MP M. Kulasegaran said Malaysia was a nett exporter of petroleum and it still had a lot of fuel reserve.

"The 40% increase will definitely bring hardship to the people as the price of goods will go up," he said, expressing outrage that the matter was not bought up during the recent Parliament sitting. Ipoh Timur MP Lim Kit Siang said the increase was too high, too steep and too sudden.
"We were initially told that the increase would only be in August. It’s only June, so why the increase?" he asked, adding that the increase would lead to spiralling inflation.

Minyak Oh Minyak...

Sepanjang hari ini saya suka mendengar luahan orang "awam" berhubung kenaikan harga minyak. Ada yang beremosi dan ada juga selamba. Rata-ratanya tak suka kenaikan minyak. Sebaabnya bila minyak naik maka semua barangan lain akan naik. Semuanya. Percayalah.....kata kawan-kwan yang ditemui.

Dalam pada itu, cerita mengenai kenaikan minyak juga menarik perhatian saya berhubung ada kawan-kawan yang memasang azam baru, yakni untuk berjimat cermat. Pada saya itu suatu niat yang baik, cuma bila mereka jelaskan kepada saya bahawa berjimat cermat mungkin dapat dilaksanakan, tapi tak semudah untuk berubah. Seperti kata ahli politik, makanlah ubi kayu....Apa-apa jua pada saya usahalah yang terbaik.
