enuff said about the recent petrol price hike in the country... at least, i m glad that i m just driving a *CLK ...
*CLK = Cute Little Kenari
i have calculated the impact that i have to face with the price hike to RM2.70/litre of petrol, bolstered by the rebate of RM625/p.a. the government is promising us. not too bad...
assuming i only drive daily to & fro for work, weekly to mum's place (for ah ma leng tong, of course), weekly to church, the occasional lepak time out with friends, and the odds of going to shop & run errands --> on average, i used to spend approx RM150 on petrol a month. with the price hike & rebate, i only need to spend an extra of less than RM10/month. surely i can deal with that...
even if i decide to travel further, & add another RM50 to my monthly petrol expenses, my extra daily expense work out to be abt RM1. still manageable...
but wait... the story DOES NOT end there.
what about the after-effects? when prices of essential items, like food & beverages go up... or when the electricity tariffs are adjusted upwards (all of a sudden, i wish i m staying in selangor; at least they have 'free' water)... or when the prices of services go up ...
i can't imagine, dare not imagine...
but wait... again, the story DOES NOT end there...
what happens when the parking operator decide to join in the trend of escalating prices & increase the price?
which is actually what is happening to me now. from RM120/month 2 years+ ago, to RM150/month, to RM170/month... it will be RM180/month from july onwards. insane! crazy! mad!
sigh...
