It is great to be back on the net again. What?? Fuel Price is up again? I told a motorist to vote for opposition but he replied me " All the same lah. Perentah (government) and opposition are the same. I have nothing to say because he like the government's business.
What I need to say? Oh ya. Few days in the jungle was a great time with my old mum and family members. Went to town this morning to get my inbox. 125 unread messages. What a long time to read and publish comments in the blog. Sorry for the late publishing. Will write more soon. Had a good time with Tiyung Dayak. Thank you for the kolok mee and B**r. There are more articles to come. But sadly, no pictures taken because I do not have my digicam.
Thank you for your visit. You can call me anything and there will be more to come. I promise you. Someone may get mad too. Sorry for that. SMK Padawan is still the same. All the time. Oh yes, there was a group of people asked my blog url too. Some asked me to print out the content since there is no internet in the Kampung. People are hungry of information!!
Good to see your comments here. That all for now. God Bless you. Good to hear that the PM and the DPM allowance will be deducted too. Thank you to Pak Lah and Najib. May the goddess of oil and rice bless both of you.

Bravo Pak Lah!
So Pak Lah burning down the house? Creating all the mess and when Anwar take over the govt, nothing much left except all these sh1ts for Anwar to settle? Rakyat are meant to suffer, and Pak Lah punished us all, you and me all of you, voter or not, for going against BN.
Saddam did the same thing in Gulf War, burning Kuwait's oil fields before retreating, leaving Kuwait for 10 years just to stop the fire from the oil fields.
Pak Lah once said: Bekerja dengan saya, bukan untuk saya.
Now the correct one: Susah dengan saya, bukan untuk saya?
RM4.00/liter petrol soon? How about a subsidy for solar powered tricycle. Yeah, its Jabu idea.
RM45K for Vios (CBU Thai) soon? Will include free transvestite boytoy, which Proton Saga don't offer for free.
RM10 for kolo mee? Shahrir can include caviar inside. Breakfast for champions, can increase intelligence and brain logic.
New TNB/Sesco tariff? How about we install a solar panel, any electricity excess we sell back to TNB/Sesco as cash energy rebates? It's common is Germany now. Lim Keng Yeik apparently too drunk to think about it before.
Ethanol E85 anyone? Grind your own waste, fermentated it, collect the gas and turn it into ethanol. Sell it under brand: Shitanol.
So what next Pak Lah? I know, on top of that RM625 rebate, you get 1-year supply of sleeping pills. Why worry too much? Just pop one, sweet dreams and when you wake up, Robert Mugabe in your kitchen cooking some bacon for your breakfast.
Vote BN?
Serve you all right, stupid dayak Bodoyoh. Bravo!
Dear TBS,
I just came back from my granpa 's longhouse in Sibu, where they rely 100% on diesel to light up from 7pm - 10pm. It's not fair for Sarawak at all where electricity has not reach about 40% of the community here. I think its about time we boot out from Semenanjung Malaysia, from the ruthless UMNO, from the present leader of this country who have never been or hardly been to Sarawak remote interior.
What does our Dayak leader has to say? Semua nak play safe by commenting on Global Oil fenomena. It just a pinch to their wallet. By right, they should bargain for more development(public transportation, road, electric, water,) from federal.
I feel ashamed of myself for i did not vote during the last GE. I dint believe in this society or any leader. They are all the same but now... i think its time to give other leader a chance. Coming this state election, i will vote BN out!!! And i will exercise my responsibility as a young adult (21 - 33). If they cant lead and manage, let others do it.
Happy Gawai to TBS!
I watched a TV1 programthis morning where there were two stooges takling about tahi minyak. They say that we must follow the global price as Iraq is now running out of crude oul. Turkey refuse to dig hole because Bush has no business and Halliburton is about to close shop. Oh.. not like that but most of the conversation talk about the world is thirsty of oil but the truth is that, the earth has plenty of oil. So, I may call this as a conspiracy to control the price of fuel so that someone may get rich by begging the poeple's money. Faham-faham saja lah.
Malaysia's government will not revise this week's drastic fuel price hikes despite opposition protests, a Cabinet minister said Friday, but he assured consumers that prices won't be raised again anytime soon.

Domestic Trade Minister Shahrir Samad defended the government's move to end decades of heavy subsidies that have kept fuel prices among the lowest in Southeast Asia and strained government coffers.
"I don't personally think it has been a mistake to raise fuel prices by a substantial amount," Shahrir told reporters. "I think it's wise. It's the first time ever we can come to grip with the subsidy system."
The pump price of gasoline rose Thursday by a whopping 41 percent to 2.70 ringgit (87 cents) a liter, or 10.23 ringgit ($3.30) a gallon. Diesel prices shot up 63 percent to 2.58 ringgit (80 cents) per liter.
Like other Asian countries, Malaysia had faced a spiraling fuel subsidy bill that could have been more than 56 billion ringgit ($17 billion) this year due to rising world oil prices.
Although the government wants to ensure pump prices are close to market rates, it isn't likely to review prices again in the short run, Shahrir said.
"Unless the global oil price rise is so apparent, I don't think (domestic fuel prices) will go up. It's more likely that the government will absorb (any further increases)," he said. "It will remain at 2.70 ringgit for a while."
In addition to the fuel hike, Malaysia also increased electricity tariffs starting in July by as much as 26 percent for some consumers.
The opposition Democratic Action Party staged small protests Thursday to denounce the sudden price hikes as excessive and a burden for the poor.
PROTES, an anti-inflation coalition of opposition parties and non-governmental groups, has called for rallies nationwide that will peak in a mass demonstration in Kuala Lumpur on July 12 to force the government to back down from the plan.
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has urged the people to remain calm and not take to the streets.
Analysts have said that Abdullah, who has resisted calls to step down, may face renewed pressure to quit as the price hike will hit his main supporters -- low-income rural ethnic Malays -- the hardest.
His National Front coalition, which has governed since independence in 1957, suffered its worst setback after losing a third of Parliament seats and five of 13 states to the opposition in March polls.
Trade Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said Friday the government has approved 800 million ringgit ($250 million) in soft loans to help small and medium-sized industries cope with the energy price hikes.
Interest rates on the loans will be halved to 2 percent and disbursement will be accelerated, he said.
More measures will be drawn up if necessary to support the sector, which forms the bulk of businesses and employs more than half of Malaysia's work force of 12 million, he added.
The government also promised cash rebates for owners of vehicles with engine capacities of 2 liters or less, and diesel subsidies for truck and bus operators.
Despite the increase, Malaysia's gasoline prices remain lower than other Asian nations such as Singapore, Thailand and India.
The energy price hikes are expected to push inflation to a 10-year high of around 5 percent, up from 3 percent now, and slow consumer spending and hurt Malaysia's economic growth.
Abdullah has said the revised energy prices would save the government 13.7 billion ringgit ($4.4 billion), part of which will be used to help subsidize rising food prices.
