-JoE.CoM- fully support about the increase of petrol price.

Greetings to all,

At this post, I want to introduce a person to the readers.
Some say he is a ex-CEO of of Cyber Village Sdn Bhd in Singapore. And even so he has been the MP of Petaling Jaya Utara for more than 100 days. All we know is, he is called Tony Pua !!

Tony Pua, the Member of Parliament for Petaling Jaya Utara under Democratic Action Party (DAP). He is also the economic advisor to the DAP secretary-general, as well as the investment liaison officer for the Penang Chief Minister based in the Klang Valley.

Tony is objecting about the incerase of petrol price as the current BN-based govt hasn't provide an alternative way for the people. It is true. If the govt has provided a superior public transport in every state, the rising of petrol price is quite considerable. Like Singapore, the tiny red dot, this kia-su govt provide a good public transport for the Singaporean but didn't subsidie the petrol. So the Singaporeans wont be so dumb to drive their own car to work. This will cost them more. So they rather sit LRT, buses or taxis.

Therefore Singapore is more eco-friendly, less traffic congestion and not so dependant on the black gold. This is what we should learn from the tiny red dot.

However, we Malaysians we don't care about that. We just keep on depending on the subsidies. The subsidies is just like a wheelchair. If we are too depending on it, we won't know how to walk at all. So this is why all of our parents just let us fell down when we are learning to walk. We learn to be steady.

That's the same reason for Malaysia. The govt is too protecting everything. The petrol, Protons, Naza, Perodua etc. When we are going to wake up from the sweet dream ?? Are we going to wake up like after the Japs bombard Pearl Harbour till bits.

Petrol is limited as I should repeat again. I think Malaysian have forgotten what is written in the Geography text book. Petrol won't grow itself. So the Chinese proverbs “物以稀为贵”, when the demand is more than the supply, the price will naturally rise. For e.g., you have won the jackpot. You use all the money to buy the jackpot again, hope that you will win more. This action is totally stupid !!

A country with strong economy don't have much subsidies. Subsidies is only temporary, like Panadol which kills the pain temporary. After that, you still have to face the doctor.

After telling why I am very supportive to the increase of petrol price, I should tell you what the Barang Naik govt. should do.

Firstly, give the Malaysian a public transport system like Switzerland, high efficiency and punctual. If the govt willing to spend so much money to launch economy corridor like Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) which cost RM 13 billion, there is no reason they don't have fund to improve the quality of public transport ? Rapid Penang should hire more driver and buy more bus, ensure the drivers follow the timetable. This is more practical.

Second, Say no to Aproved Permit (AP) and tax to import car. If the govt didnt tax so high on import car, my parents may be driving BMW or Toyota. In order to protect the 26 years old baby Proton, the govt taxes import car so high. The practice of APs helped shift dominance of the car import industry from the ethnic Chinese to the Malays. Thus the AP Kings just monopolise the market and we all have to drive Proton where was likely built in jungles by people who wear leaves for shoes. Would you ?

As a conclusion, there is no way you can avoid the fuel hike. Face it now or you will suffer more later !!
