Bills Bills Bills!!!

Argh!!!~ That dreaded word. Everytime i get my credit card bill, Astro Bill, Phone bill, it makes me shivers down to the spine....*brrrr*

And besides, do we get any increment in salary or petrol allowance since our petrol price is increasing? A barrel of crude petroleum cost around USD40 - USD 50+. Who are we to blame? A magazine even predicted that the world oil price might even reach the USD 100 per barrel ceiling. What will happen to us then?

Subsidy? My @$$. All they do is keep on increasing the petrol price per litre every 2-3 months. And now, there's even a rumour saying that by 1 Nov, 2004, our local petrol price will be increased by RM0.32 per litre!! That's RM 1.75 compared to the current price of RM1.42.

How long has it been since they increase 5 cent per litre. One month only!!! Blame it on the war in Iraq which distrupted the world oil production. Blame it on the sudden surge of oil demand from China and India. Blame it on the Russian Government for freezing out their local oil producer, Yukos and finally, blame it on the gulf of Mexico where a typhoon also distrupted their oil production. Because of this minor things that happened, we as the end user suffer in the end.

Why no one in the world debate that each country should use their backyard oil reserves? Our's are low crude oil which contains little sulphur and it makes a good jet oil. Why would they need to export it out and make money? why not sell it to our local car owners? What we get here now are high sulphuric content oil from the middle east which only cost USD 40 per barrel. Ours can be sold for USD 50 per barrel.

oh well, it's up to the govt to make decisions for us so we just have to trust them with all our asses. hahaha
