Inflation Chaos

It seems that this year's Gawai festival has caused a lot of things happen, especially when we mention about the price of the item we have currently.

The first inflation started by our prime minister or the government (whomever they are), a raise of 50 cent until RM2 for a kilogram of rice, depending on the brand and type. It means that every 10 kg will have a raise between RM5 to RM20 for a pack of rice.

Then, followed by the raise of raw materials for building and tires, and now followed by the petrol. In just a few days of June, almost everything has raise the price for it, roughly 70% inflation value if compared to the lower price.

Even the electricity fees was increased as well.

When you think over carefully, who will be the man behind of these scenes and chaos?

As their favorite quote are: Our fuels is still the 2nd or 3rd cheapest if compared to the other ASEAN countries. Well, it might be true, but the salary of Malaysians are also the 2nd or 3rd lowest if compared with ASEAN countries, as Indonesia, Singapore and Brunei have better salaries and conditions.

Do you think that the subsidy of RM625 (some of them are even less) to the car owner will help to cope out with the problems? How will they give the rebate to the citizens is also another matter as they are good at giving excuses as don't know how to give to us/ need proof...

If these problems still persists, well... out MYR value will become no difference as the Rupiahs. This can be shown that how 'good' and 'efficient' of our government. Did they think about the citizens?
