It was just like yesterday fuel price was increased from rm1.42 to rm1.52 per litre, and now add another 10 cents per litre.
It’s not much just 10 cents you may say. It’s a hefty sum, I say, considering petrol is not some luxury item that we can choose to forego. It is a necessity. To add salt to injury, increase in fuel prices may lead to ‘domino effects’ such as increase in transportation fees, goods & services.
Worse, our pay stays stagnant. Increase there may be, but enough to cover inflation?
Any increase in your mileage claim? Travel allowances?
Track back how fuel price increased (in a short span of 14 months)
May 04 – RM 1.37
Oct 04 – RM 1.42
May 05 – RM 1.52
July 05 – RM 1.62
Pray hard it’s not going up again in near future… else I may have to forgo shopping trips and walk to sundry shops and pasar malam instead =P (but then even the prices of goods in pasar malam has increased)
