“Get up, Stand Up, Stand up for your right” – Bob Marley and Wailers

Reviewing the days what Mr. Bob Marley sang in his song of the above title, one cannot fail to notice that he (Bob Marley) was actually defying the judgment behind Christianity’s’ Jesus, Heaven and Armageddon. However, that is not the purpose of my article today. I don’t want to make matters worse after Dan Brown’s bestselling novel “The DaVinci Code” if you know what I mean. Today’s article is about the rise of petrol price in Malaysia… yet again!!!

Sick, tired, disappointed, angry and frustrated. Feel free to add on in comments what else you feel about the hike in petrol price. Forget about the days when Anwar Ibrahim hiked up the petrol price when he was Finance Minister. As I recall, it was up 2 cents at that time. My memory is not capable of reviewing the last time the petrol price in Malaysia went down. But wait, has it ever gone down?? Perhaps my memory deceives me. What on earth is our government trying to prove? If you read what our beloved 1Malaysia Prime Minister commented on the rise in petrol price at the above link, you might just kick the very monitor you are looking at now. Its crap!

“Menurut perdana menteri, penyelarasan semula harga barangan tersebut akan membolehkan kerajaan mengurangkan perbelanjaannya melebihi RM750 juta untuk tahun ini”.

As I keep reading the statement above, my mind tells me to start swearing in this article. Yes, the government can reduce expenditure by 750 million ringgit. What ever happen to the PKFZ scandal? Helicopter? Submarine? Oh, and the National Palace? I was told that the Prime Minister official residence in Putrajaya actually has an underground train which links to his office in Putrajaya. What is this? The Whitehouse? I have to freaking drive to work which is 30km one-way. Full tank petrol for RON 97 for my car would now be almost RM100. Ok perhaps that’s exaggerating, but hey it’s still expensive. And we all know that the RON 95 is pure crap. Try using that crap petrol and you will be visiting the automobile service center within a month.

Why are we being burdened by our own government who is responsible to make our lives easier? Who is the government? The government is an organization voted into office by the Rakyat. The Rakyat! Is this what the Rakyat want? Our salary is not going any higher. In fact there are many companies that are reducing their staffs’ salary. Foreigners aren’t investing in our country no more. The politics is sick in our country. Petronas is the sole GLC responsible for the crude oil in Malaysia that puts its finger right up the Rakyats’ ass. You work like a dog, pay income tax, goods tax, road tax that tax and this tax to the government so that they can reduce the cost of living but what they do in return? Stick an un-identified rod back the ass. What does the Rakyat do in return? Keep that smelly ass hole as it is for evidence. DO NOT WASH OR DRY CLEAN! I’m sure its Saiful Bukhari who proposed this hike in petrol price to the government. Owh come on! Who am I kidding; Saiful was a UNITEN drop out!

Prior to GE 2008, while GE 2008 and post GE 2008. In all these 3 phases we went through, the one person’s speech that always keeps you up on your feet cheering is Anwar Ibrahim. He keeps saying this in his speeches. I recall even lately he spoke about it. “Hari ini kita tawan Putrajaya, esok harga minyak turun”. Hope to get this done very soon. I know many think that he is an two-faced politician. Call him whatever you want, but he is the best thing that can ever happen to Malaysia right now. Of course we have got RPK as well, but he fires everyone. He is like EMINEM who don’t give too shits about shits! We need people like them to put pressure. I am already pissed with the way how my home state is now (Perak). With that being said, now another blow. This time they play with my wallet. Money is something you don’t want to mess with. Now the government will ask to take the public transport. You moron, there are no public transports to or from Cyberjaya/Putrajaya.

Petrol is something we use every day. The load for utilizing petrol now is too heavy for one to bare it on his back. We have to start to get up, stand up, and stand up for your right. Bob Marley would have sung this while he was high on weed, but we don’t need weed to initialize this. We just need to spend about 10-15 minutes to go to the post office and register as a voter. Come next general election, which is scheduled end of this year or early next year, show them who is in power. My guess is the federal government has got no faith in retaining the country next GE and thus trying their level best to rob as much as they can. Remember, voting is not a right, it’s a privilege.
