As everyone know , our petrol price has just gone up by around 40% from RM1.92 per liter to RM2.7.
If we pump RM50 , we gonna pay RM70 for the same stuff.
When Dan 1st told me about I thought he is fooling around cos I been checking the news around 6pm and there is nothing about petrol hike (He told me around 6:40pm). I thought he must be kidding but then again , he never fool around with these kind of things. To my dismay it is announced around 6:20 pm after I closed the webs for daily news updates.
This petrol hike caused a lot of serious jam around Penang arounds every roads that lead to a petrol station.
I tried to queue to get cheaper petrol but after estimating it will take more than 45mins to get there I decided not to waste my time . If you think rationally , the time + petrol (while queuing to station) wasted on it , It’s not worthwhile.
This petrol hike has created brainless drivers, they turned a 2 lane road into a 1 way, Below are the pics I took when I’m driving to work after trying to get petrol near Midlands when the other nearby places is full.
See the buses coming from the opposite direction and coming out from my lane ? I thought the buses is doing a U-Turn but it’s not LOL !!!
IMO….I think the government is trying to get all the money they can get before the government is changed next election
