File 13 : Let's face it!

Well, there's nothing much that we can do. The oil price had increased already. In my last post, I said that it was semi-confirmed. And when I watched the news, the oil price is going to increase the next day. It's not like the normal 2 cents to 5 cents increase. The increase that was announced yesterday was the most unbelievable since 2002. 78 cents, which means that the new oil price in Malaysia will be RM 2.70 per litre. A far cry from the previous RM 1.92.

And of course, when announcing this, the 'golden' sentence will be burst out by the government. "Our oil price is still among the lowest in this region"... I am sick with this statement. Sick, sicker, sickest!! What? They want to compare our oil price with those in Singapore? Oh man! C'mon.. Before the government compare the oil price in Malaysia with the oil price in Singapore, why don't they compare the household annual income of Malaysians and Singaporeans. Singaporeans are rich people mate! Their household income [as per Malaysian ringgit] is higher.. The Singaporeans deserve the high price. But Malaysians? I think... I could not think... -_- ...

However, either we like it or not, the oil price is now RM 2.70 per litre and will be subjected to monthly reviews. Hopefully, the monthly reviews would decrease the oil price instead of the opposite. And as the nightmare is now a reality, what we could do is to face it. Well, just face it my friends! There's nothing more that we could do. Demos would led us nowhere. Memos would be ignored. The oil price will no longer revert to the old price.

Hmm.... just wondering, what is the fate of the biodiesel project [to generate car oil by processing the oil palm]? Why is it quiet when we need it the most?

And is this the beginning of the NGV era?
