This is not the usual "petrol naik harga" like in the past. This is the ultimate "naik harga" where Malaysians will no longer feel the cushion given by Petronas all these years!
If RM2.70 is the price per litre of petrol for the next 6 months, I feel it's not that bad, considering the market price is near RM5.00 per litre. At lease the government is still subsidizing almost half of the cost. But that is not the case. By August, the price will reach market price minus RM0.30. That will be around RM4.70, if the crude oil price remains as recently. At this rate, income of any average Malaysian will be eaten up.
Ok, so now, the average Malaysian decided to take drastic measures to cut down petrol consumption. They will use more of the the public transportation. But...besides those in the capital city, where the public transportation can still be considered fine, people in most towns in Malaysia can hardly rely on public transportation to get them to work place. So what options do these people have?
