The hang over - thanks to BN , the poverty pimps !

I believe most rakyat expect the rise. They read the newspaper and they are not stupid people. They knew the rise is coming.

then the gov made several boldstatement. Wedensday 3rd June as the day to announce the policy and look ahead of the roll out plan to handle the price increase. August is slated for actual increase.

then the gov backed on thier word. Its wednesday as the day of increase. they preached good governance and they piss on thier own word. The PM during the press conference even had the cheek to hint that Malaysia would be able to take it. The PM flashed a smile and I feel dejected. The PM is totally detached.

the rakyat was caught in a spin. They have not really thought of the price increase of 40% plus. then the gov annouce some half baked ideas about rebates which just provide some band aid relief to motorist. they have forgotten the mass which are affected indirectly.

then came the statement that they will announce on monday another round of relief packages. Quick look and we know those relief are just ears candies.

Voices of extreme dissent reverberates in all forums in the internet. Mostly expressed thier dissatisfaction over the WAY the gov dished out the subsidy pull-outs. Most bloggers (even th eneutral ones) have a field day exposing the flaw of this plan.

In the mainstream media, all cabinet ministers inconspicuously went missing inclusive the PM and DPM. Even the media charmer Shahrir eludes the microphones. they have shot thier chances as the next gov in the next PRU13 to smithereens. the spin doctors (newspaper editors) worked overtime to side the government rational, or rather lack of it.

In one stroke of the pen, the gov has send millions low mid class t mid class Malaysian back to the border of poverty living.

Personally, I can take a RM6/L fuel. But I got extreme bouts of heartache thinking of average Malaysian struggles to give thier family and themsleves a living that is fit for a common people in rich nation like ours.

my middle finger to the government !
