This might be the shortest post i'm gonna come up with thus far cuz well much of what that needs to be said on the petrol price issue has already been over-said.
"RM2.70 for petrol....die liao.....price of petrol go up, kenot do this...kenot do that....lifestyle all have to change.... haiyooo stupid government ar!!"
Those are the words that have been in almost every conversation i hear around me. Everybody freaking out on the fuel price increment...lol. I mean seriously i laugh at such comments. Moreover comments like " Wei u can't be driving just anywhere u like ar....the price of petrol go up very high already...u have to change your lifestyle..." and "shit..price of petrol increase means everything else also increase....everything gonna be expensive dy.." Those would be the words of a typical Malaysian when such a thing happens in our country.
We Malaysians are very tolerant and accommodating people. We change our lifestyles according to the situation around us. But as for me...i dismay at such an attitude. I mean c'mon, why should we let those goons,the executives of this country, put this burden upon us, the people? Why should we suffer the consequences of a mismanaged gold mine?Let me clarify. Malaysia is a net exporter when it comes to petroleum so when the price of oil in the global market goes up so should the revenue acquired from selling our precious petrol. But what do we have now?....An increase in the already expensive(comparatively to other petrol exporting countries) price of petrol. This has bullshit written all over it. Most Malaysians even know that the increment in the price of petrol is due to the mismanagement our most prized natural resource,petrol(i don't think i need to explain how our petrol has been mismanaged).
But all we Malaysian are doing is complain, curse, cut corners and compromise on a lifestyle which we should be freely enjoying. I wonder, why can't we stand and stop those who are ruling our country from dictating our lifestyles by placing upon us the burden of overpriced petrol. A fine example would be Europe. Those countries have what seems to be every reason to increase the price of petrol but yet the people would not stand for it and hence causing their governments to yield to them. we on the other hand yield to what the government has imposed on us but at the same time complain and curse....pshaw!!Shut the hell up man....if u really have a problem bring it forward or else just LIVE WITH IT!!! That's what a free world is all about. That's what democracy stands for. The power of the people to demand the government to yield instead of being pushed around and exploited. I don't think i can say anymore...we,the people, need to reattach our balls and get the government to hear our voices. It is no use to just talk about how ridiculous it is that our prices of petrol are unbelievably higher than the other petrol exporting countries when we do nothing to stop those who impose such a price of petrol on us. Sheesh i thought we were better that that.
