Up up and away..

Petrol hike.. 30 sens increase !! My god , i got the news late. Dil called me at about 11 pm to inform me about the news. After that , streams of sms flocked my handphone inbox. Everybody was wondering whether it was just a rumour running wild ? Usually , they will air it on the news at 8pm , but today there was none..

Chaos was the typical scene in all the petrol stations. Credit card kiosk suddenly went offline. Not everybody brought cash to pay fuel. Sparks of anger and tension was obvious. To top it up , few stations decided to close down early , greedy to cash in more money starting midnight , with the 20% rise. The ones still open is so busy unlike their normal business. Nobody was able to confirm the news ..

And at 12am , Tuesday 28 February 2006 , the news was confirmed during the late night news. The government issued the statement quite late but the enforcement was immediate.They promised that there will be no hike this year.. YE KE ?? BULE PERCAYA KE ? That was what they said last July...

Check out our neighbours : the emergency state declared after a failed coup in Phillipines ; Thai's PM under heavy critisism for dissolving the parliament creating havoc and more instability.. Wow .. can Malaysia remain as it is for long ?

The future looks worrying...
