And it is right now at RM1.62 per litre, an increase of 10 sen. Yes, petrol. Excellent Sunday morning news. Gone up 20 sen the past 9 months, that's 14%. My salary definitely did not increase at that scale, but then again, how many companies can keep up with the cost of living?
Diesel users are more unfortunate. An increase of a grand 50 sen the past 14 months; 20 sen increase of which came into effect midnight. Soon, diesel's gonna cost the same as petrol.
But, it does look like consumers can do nothing at all about it. Well, at least I couldn't. My tank was empty, I had to fill it by hook or by crook.
You know that this makes the disparity between the lower-income earners and the higher-income ones an even bigger one?
If only our dear PM stops being so secretive and do more PR, maybe his citizens can understand what's going on behind the scenes and not blame so much.
