petrol oh petrol | diesel oh diesel
A few hours after I've done distributing fliers in BBI (tersesat into Tmn Melawis as well :|), I went to MP. Bloody hell!! The bus fare increased by 20 cents >.<
All bcoz of the petrol and diesel price increased which was started on the 28th February. The fare for buses without air-cond from EP/MMU to Melaka Sentral is now RM1.50 (used to be RM1.30) and from Melaka Sentral to Mahkota Parade is now RM1.00 (used to be RM0.80). The bus fare for domestic buses have increased, how about the external buses from one state to another state? How much it's going to be now from Melaka to my hometown, Taiping? The ticket price was RM33 when i took the bus last month. I hate it so when when price for petrol and diesel increase. Although the government said the prices for other stuff such as food and bus fare WOULD NOT increase, but they ARE already increased. They said they can no longer subsidize too much for the petrol and diesel coz they're not to able to do handle the cost and other stuff.
But seriously, this sucks. It sucks when government's decision somewhat in the way make the prices for essential things such as food increased. Students like me can hardly enjoy nice food anymore which is quite expensive. Let's say one day you spend RM10 ONLY for food. For one whole month, you need to spend RM300 (RM310 for 31 days) Do you think you can buy breakfast, lunch and dinner with RM10? How those who eat alot? They need supper you know? Melaka is not like Taiping where you can ge RM1.00 fried noodles and koew teow from the pasar malam. In here, those food cost around RM3.00. We need to eat fruits too to stay healthy. 3 fragrance pear for RM 2.80. Sigh. Even the food is getting much more expensive. We still need to buy printing papers, cartridge, photocopy charges, text books, stationaries and sometimes we need to fix our PC as well (to get a new power supply, you need to pay at least RM50). Students can never forever stay in their hostel rooms. They need to go out to fresh up their mind. Thus, you need transposrt for that. Car rental is RM5 per hour. You need to feel the fuel yourself too with your own money. People like me who dont have any driving lisence can only take bus to places where we want to go. But the bus does not go everywhere. it only go to places where there are lotsa people. Forget about the taxi. It's freaking expensive here.
From MMU to Kota Mas/Jaya Jusco (only for a few kilometres) is already RM8 vice versa. From MMU to Mahkota Parade is RM17 vice versa and from MMU to Melaka Sentral is RM12 and it is FREAKING RM17 from Melaka Sentral to MMU. Those prices are BEFORE our "beloved" government increase the price for petrol and diesel. Taxi drivers will no longer have passangers coz they're not willing to pay that much. Not everyone is owns RM5k per month and send RM1k to their kids as pocket money per month. I only get around RM500 per month which is NOT enough to cover my expenses while I'm studying in Melaka. Imagine if I've shifted to Cyberjaya, it will be even worse >.<
Next time if the government want to increase prices for anything, think of the effects to people in this country. Not everyone owns a BMW or Mercedes and have personal driver in it. Not everyone can afford to buy branded thing. That's why you can see that privacy CAN NEVER end bcoz it's cheap. People prefer to buy cheap things coz the original one is bloody expensive. People download mp3 from the internet coz the original CDs are expensive as well, doesnt matter if it's an imported one or not. The more you increase the price for anything including the highway toll, which going to affect the food business, the more people you'll see ended in TV3 Bersamamu show. I'm serious.
Unless companies RAISE up their workers' salaries ;)
And not everyone work in companies in towns or cities. Some own business and they might be most probably wont survive if prices for things keep on increasing. Some plants vegies and rubber tape just to find money. Some rubber tapist can get RM2k PER WEEK coz rubber prices increase which is good for them.
Things are not balance anymore. This is just sucks
*Took a bus from Mlk Sentral to MMU. Passed by Bt. Berendam. The bus driver got angry coz there was a pasar malam and it cause heavy traffic jam. He keep on cursing with all his might
"Bangang betoi buat pasar malam kat sini. Aku tibai dengan kayu karang"
"Pukai mak cibai, apasal kerete bodoh tu tak jalan" and he kept on honning to the cars in front us.
So MBMB, please find a more suitable place for BT. Berendam pasar mlm. It seriously sucks alot. Traffic jam happens because stupid people with stupid attitude and stupid mind can stupidly park or stop on the road side next to stupid stalls to wait for their stupid wives and family members go for some stupid mini shopping. They are so stupid that they never care less about other road users. Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid!!!
