Welcome Readers ...
Well , I am a Malaysian and my country encounter a great petrol price hike . The government has increased the price from RM 1.92 to RM 2.70. This events has greatly affects everyone , everything , and anything .
Once the petrol price goes up , foods , raw materials , chicken , milk , grocery item , and everythings has their price increased . Oh yea , forgot to mention that the ONLY things that doesnt increase is our SALARY .
Previously I pump my car for RM65-RM70 for around 35Litre. Last week I pump RM95 for 35Litre(Almost Full tank) . And yesterday I pumped RM50 for half tank . You can see the different there :)
Once petrol price goes up , there is an assumption that most Malaysian will go out lesser . They will try to avoid driving as much as possible , and stay home . Some of them even suggest to take the public transport such as bus and LRT . So readers , be prepare to find our public transport is packed with people inside . 
Dont worry, our government said that they will upgrade the public transport and their services .
Our prime minister "Pak Lah" will keep his words =)
For myself , I will try to minimize my petrol usage by not pressing the accelerate paddle aggresively like last time. Although it is nice to rev a car but for the God sake please do not rev your car too much because petrol aint cheap right now . Last advice , do not go speeding . First reason is to save petrol , second reason is to save life . Ingat-lah orang yang tersayang.

Many protests are planned, but i personally think that such action is a waste of resources, leads to traffic congestion and futher leads to waste in fuel for those who stuck in the tracffic jam.
On the other hand, when the price of petrol goes up, people complain a lot. People should sell off their cars and use public transport. But is there public transport?
To avoid all this, stop buying cars and go for bicyles. They are good for health and a made for daily exercise.
It is now the time for change.
Also, opposition parties must explain how they will overcome these and promise the people who have elected them as a better alternative.
Yeah I do agree protests are one of the way for the citizen to express their dissatisfaction but it is useless. Our government do not tolerance with protest and use "soft" force to against it .
Bicycles is an alternative choices for those who only travel in slight to moderate distances . Personally I love bicycles :)
The opposition parties must do something about it and government should pay more attention to us.
