Changing Lifestyle

As you guys should had know about the shocking news last night about the drastic increase price of petrol. As the clock strikes midnight yesterday which is today's morning, the petrol price which used to costs rm1.92 a litre will hike up with a tremendous change which will costs extra rm .78 which is rm2.70. That's a lot that happened in a sudden. This is due to government's plan to restructure the current subsidy plan to save up which then goes to national food supply guarantee, subsidising cooking oils, imported rice , flour, bread and others still on crude oil such as petrol, diesel and gas.

Cars queuing up after the announcement of hike in petrol price by midnight.

According to the government, our petrol price is still one of the cheapest comparing to other countries such as singapore which now costs rm5.20 a litre. Well, if we take the price of petrol in singapore into consideration, our value of money is much smaller compare to singapore and their earnings is about 3 times more. All i know is that the price hike will eventually ended up causing more social problems among the society. Just after the price hike today, there was already a news that tenaga will introduce a new electricity tariff which also seems to be hiking along. All these may also affect me as i won't be able to borrow my dad's car to drive anymore. =.=

A highly significant difference between these two petrol-contained bottles.

Therefore, part of my way to reduce the consumption of petrol :
1) reducing speed in driving must be practice
2) car pool as much as you can
3) use public transportation
5) ride a bicycle ( no fuel is needed to move it )
4) WALK ( extra consumption of glucose and oxygen is required ) !


Should have bought a few bottles of it that contains petrol in cambodia. Wasted! =.=
