Damn these price hikes

Fuel price gone up and will be going up again.... maybe. The knowitalls say take a bus. What ? Bus fares are going up too. And the gas suppliers are raising their prices for domestic gas cylinders. You can bet the roti canai and nasi lemak will increase some more. The RM625 for cars and RM150 for motor bikes refund is easy money for con-men. Today Che' Lah proudly announced that his ministers will take a 10 percent cut off their entertainment allowances, not their bloody salaries.What a cheek ! When workers asked for a minimum wage to be set, it was disallowed. How are these lowly paid workers going to manage ? I'm sure they have school-going kids and bills to pay. Me, I am suffering too. I'm just a pensioner with two schooling kids, and one son in college without scholarship. I have to maintain a car, a motorbike, and a house for which I am still repaying the housing loan. Did I mention, the special expenses for my two children with disabilities ? My two working sons cannot support me, their mum and younger siblings, for they too are struggling with their own finances. Thank you BN govt, I hope you guys will be replaced soon.
