Yes, I know it’s been almost a week after the oil price hiked. But I can’t stop to write and express my thoughts on this issue.
Malaysia. A country blessed with tons of natural minerals. Oil INCLUDED! Why the hell do we have to follow the world oil market? Why can’t we just produce the petrol for our internal usage and not processing them and sell to developed country at a high price? Do we really need to import those fluctuating crude oil to process here and sell to our poor citizen? WHY!
I know, we can change our lifestyle and use less petrol by traveling less with personal car. But look at our GOD DAMN IT public transportation in the whole country!!! Yes, yes, yes, we have LRT in our capital, but what about those outskirts??? Public bus? Taxi? Or Kereta Lembu???
In the outskirt we need to wait 1/2hr-1hr and sometime hours and hours for the bus to come. Do you want us to waste our time waiting for the bus there? Or pay a high price for patrol to drive yourself? Also this - yeah yeah, we got air conditioned bus for the passenger to enjoy. Air conditioning with added diesel flavor??
Hmm… we got another nice public transportation - the KTM. KL-KB for 10 hours??? Not to forget, the breakdowns, power failure and flooding to be added to the traveling time.
So, you ask us to change our lifestyle? IMPROVE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION FOR GOD SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!
