Petrol, Diesel, Oil & Gas

Hmm... Interesting... Petrol has bumped up to RM 2.70 per liter while Diesel is RM2.58. Some more with the annually rebate scheme, I wonder... What would happen within these few years? I remembered the day where our Prime Minister announced that petrol price would rise starting midnight, I was still working. When I reached home, my friend from Penang informed me. That time I doubted it since I was told the price should be altered starting August. I reconfirmed with The Star Online, it was 6.30pm… That night I was going out as well…

Thinking of filling up at any nearby petrol station, but when I passed through any of each, holy, the queues were so ostentatious and long~! Indeed, that time was 4 more hours to midnight. RM1.92 to RM2.70, a 40% rise could cause problems for some of us. That’s why everyone was so eager to fill up their tanks before the price started to rise. Amusingly, the petrol and even the diesel were in high demand until some of the petrol stations had to shut down earlier since out of gas. So, I made my decision only to fill up my tank on the other day. It was just not my style to queue up and get something limited and highly demanded. That was only happening in Kuala Terengganu, a developing town. When I read the news next day, in those big cities, the situation was even worse and caused havoc.

Last minute work concept???

I have only 1 comment on this issue - increase of Petrol & Diesel price during the last minute which created havoc among the people.

There are cases where people quarreled over who gets to fill up first, and other ridiculous matters.

It would be best that the announcement and implementation of the petrol & diesel hike made earlier. Earlier as in 3 days allowance or 1 week? By doing so the people have ample of time to adjust to the Petrol Hike Crisis.
So that would be my comment, why didn't do so?
Why said" Price of Petrol will be increased in August?" When it was done earlier?
