A liter of Oil, A Bunch of Riders.
Everyone is affected by the fuel price increment and so to the motorists. I paid RM 5 for 1.77 liter of fuel for my old Honda EX5 motorcycle. I have to spend RM 10.00 to travel to town and back home. It is equal to driving a Perodua Kancil with that amount of fuel from home to town in last month. That means I have to pay more and get wet by the rain as now is the rainy season. Nevertheless, it is worth enough because Barisan Nasional has paid us the best price for our votes.
The story goes like this. I drove my friend’s car to town to send her son back to their home in town. On the way back to kampung, we saw a bunch of riders (pemandu and pembonceng) on a motorcycle. I was stunned as I have never seen such thing happening in town ever before. I should have my digital camera to post the picture here in the blog. Hope to get one. I am working very hard and waiting for Raja to send one for me. There were four of them on the bike and I believe that they are a family. The youngest son was sitting down in front of his dad and the eldest one was between the father and the mother. The mother was sitting with her leg hanging and not on the foot races. It was not happening on the kampung road but on the urban road where cars are plenty. I was looking at them until the traffic light turn into green.
What they have done was a very dangerous ride and if they get accident, someone or all of them maybe in trouble or die. How can there are four people riding on a motorcycle in such a dangerous way? What if they get into accident and one or two of them die? Will it worth for a RM 2.96 per liter of fuel? The answer is in us to think and analyze. Yes, it is wrong to have more than two persons on a motorcycle and there must be no tattoo show on the public road. But, I believe that they cannot afford to have at least a Kancil or used car as they cannot afford for a high price of fuel.
On our journey heading to town, I saw a Mercedes Benz car with QSG plate number and that is Sarawak Government vehicle. I started to play with the driver by slowing down at the right lane. The driver gave me signal to turn to the slow lane but I refused until he found a chance to overtake me from the left lane. It was not because I disrespect the driver or the Dato’ inside the car but I was upset with their business. We pay them everything but they gave us hell and it is not fair. As a result, he does not deserve respect from the people which they are enslaving. Why should we say greeting to bandits who are on the way to rob your belonging?
From what I have experienced, I have seen two different things. One was the poor family on one motorbike and one man in a one big government car with free fuel. Maybe some may call me communist because I may say that there must be no rich and poor, slave and master or capitalist and “toilers” in this very state. But the thing is that we are paying more while the bandits are smiling and enjoying free fuel from the people. What will happen if the country keeps those greedy ministers and government servant? The price of everything will increase because we are having “primary one” minister in the cabinet which most of them are from Barisan Nasional or “Budak Nakal”.
Why should we thank Pak Lah and Najib allowance deduction while the others are enjoying luxury lives from the people’s contribution? Those who have a personal jet and million worth boat must be gunned down so that we have enough money to help the people. We must deduct Taib’s “allowance” too so that the Sarawakians have enough money to develop the state. So it must apply to Khairy “the richest jobless” and the rest of the ministers too. Sell those mansions in New Zealand and Australia to get money to help the people and that is the most sacred and holy sacrifice to the Malaysians.
I don’t think that we have to follow the global price of oil while we are producing our own fuel. In fact, Petronas had never declared loss as what MAS had done. Petronas has plenty of rigs and many of them are in Middle East region as what we know about Oil for Food business. Who is benefiting from the crude oil price increment? Petronas will declare millions Ringgit of profit this year and I believe that SCOMI will get something big too. Why should we help Petronas and SCOMI if these two “taukey” cannot help us? Or we have no choice because we need to work for fuel or else we will get hungry. We are not consuming fuel but food. Therefore, though there is no fuel in the pump station, we can still be alive because we have food in the shops.
We must fight against corruption and that is the best answer to the hiking price of goods and fuel “jihadly” and let it be the first command of the Islam Hadhari. It is not Haram to have some beer but it is a “Big Haram” if we practice “protected” corruptions. We are out of money because someone is building or buying something outside the country. How can a minister who earns RM 30K or less build a mansion oversea and having his personal jet? Yes, I know that it is a commission from somebody else due to good business deal, but corruption is still considered wrong. In fact, Mr. Clean has now become Mr. Unclean and I believe that the corridors are not going to be built because we have less investors due to the high price of materials and fuel.
I just don’t believe that the restructure plan of fuel subsidy is to increase the price and not to prevent those who smuggled fuel to Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia through fuel subsidy. And this is the beauty work of a bunch of “primary one” ministers to absorb the people money. Are we out of money to build those corridors? Maybe because we have a family of businessmen in our cabinet and he just cannot let it down for the sake of the country. Those who are weak must pay more to those who are strong and that is a common low in gangsterism.

Where is the stupid anonymous??? hasn't he has sumthing to say after the fuel hike by his favorite leader?? I like to hear his view.
I think he is James Dawos.
You think you are clever than the Prime Minister, the civil servants or the ministers that you bellitle? DO you read or study international economics or are you just an it nerd setting up blogs to say that you are the best goon of all the goons.
Next month fuel price will rise up and you will face more suffering.
The second thing is will you just refund back the cash rebate the the government will be giving in lieu of the suisidy?
By refusing to accept the fuel price are you encouranging the the rampant smuggling of diesel across the Thai border or encouraging Singaporean who already enjoy better quality of life to use our subsidised fuel?
You goon are only good in condeming. Even your mother and father who gave birth to you also were being condemed by you. God give you brain to think but not to condemened,
Let me ask you this question. If you are the Prime Minister of Malaysia, what will you do to overcome the whooping global fuel price? Did you not read alternative views that have actually recommeneded Malaysia to dismantle the subsidy structure. These are the views of the expert in economics (international economics), and also views of expert from developed countries such as from Korea, Japan and the United States.
Goon you see, the government is trying to salvage the economy and trying their best to make Malaysia a better place to live, to invest and to make busines. But don't you know that all their efforts are subjected to external economic factors? Malaysia is not the only country in this universe which is callec earth. Hence anything which is happening in the other country affect us in Malaysia. The rice shortage you also blame the government. but why don't we blame ourseves for not going back to the kampong and plant padi just like our forefarthers did before. All this while Malaysia never have rice shortages, because other rice producing countries are willing to export rice to us. But look now, Vietnam refuses to export their rice. China has been hit by a very bad earth quake, so is Mynmar's rice bowl the Irrawady basin is being wiped out by the Cyclone Nargis. These are the factors which contributted to the rice shortage. The government is trying its best to overcome and minimise the problems. Yet goons like you keep on lashing and badmouthing them saying that they are corroupted and not able to perform their duties.
If you are good and even clever and better, you will be promoted in your job and will not earn a mearge income of RM1000.00 as you wrote but you can earn a steady income of five figure or a six figure. It is just a shame to read you comments.
Anyway, it amused me to read your comment though.
Not only you a lost aborigine in your own country home but you are also lost in your own blog.

There are two type of people,
1. Ignoring the changes :- Most of them are beggars
2. Reacting to the changes :- They are sensitive to the changes and trying thie best to adapt.
I am lucky enough because my family is planting paddy and crops for our daily supply. That's mean we have less worry on the rice side.
If I am a prime minister, I will frozen all the oversea holiday for all ministers. Then cut or demolish the entertainment allowance for all governmant servants including the ministers. let get back to 1997 where schools are told to switch on ceiling fan at 11.00 pm and offices were using recycle paper.
This year, Pak Lah tipu us again.

I saw Pak Lah this morning at Hilton Kuching. He asked us " are you the press people?"
I said, I am a blogger, an independent writer.
Dear Anonymous aka James Dawos's S* licker,
Im clever than PM. Give me the authority to castrate u wimpy dick, for not asking for better public transportation 10 years ago, before this global phenomena occur.
Do us a favor. Please die now!
what has frozen ministers trips overseas to do with whooping fuel price?
What has frozen of civil servants entertainment allowences do with whooping fuel price. I don't see this has any relationship with the whopping oil price and also the increases in the costs of goods in the markets.
I think you should spend more times in your job be more productive and not spending unproductive time of your job to update your blog. It is office hours that you log in your blog. The time stated was at 12.28p,m and the other was a minute later. Don't you think that you are stealing the time from your employer to blog and bad mouthing the 'pengubak oto'.
You have not answered my ealier postings but you swayed away from the main issue of contestation.
Senior civil servants, ministers, DPM and PM have to meet important dignitries from overseas in meetings, negotiatons and helping to promote the country for industries, signing important MOUs and etc which is for national interest, Ministers and senior officials must potray a good image of the nation. If their entertainment allowence are deducted as proposed by you, than who will have to entertain these dignatries?
It is always easy to propose something which is nonsensical. What is your employer deduct your pay for being unproductive and spending most of your time with your blog? Will you allow your employer to do it?
Friend, think before you write.
Hi,
Today is my 2nd month "anniversary" as a blogger in the cyberspace, and I am glad that I am still going strong and kicking ..)
sonofpenang.blogspot.com
im the other mr anonymous just call me Jack. I would like to answer mr anonymous who condem tsbdidayuh. hey, whoever u r, the reason we msian all suffered right now is bcoz of the idiot people like u who keep support the corrupt people who r holding the gov now. how much u hd benefit frm tiz corupt group of poeple? where r yur conscience? r u human being?? or the heartless monster!*#?
hey, im not against masian gov. im agaist the corrupt leaders in BN who running the gov right now.
Let me answr yur questions on behalf of my brother tsbbidayuh. Let's go back o the pass when Dr. M handover the power. If he handover the power to me, 8 of tiz initial things will I do:-
1) Call for an early general election, immediately
2) After election put up an impressive cabinet line-up consists of highly qualified personal & nt necessary of a politicians.
3) Introduced Policy No.1 - The nation wil be self sufficient in terms of food supply. Encourage people to grow their own food & instructed states gov to leased state land to any citizens who hv no land wt very low fee to plant food + subsidies like cheap fertelisers.
4) Scrap off all the wasteful mega projects.
5) Put anti-coruption department straight under parlimen.
6) Limit the PM terms to max 10 yrs only.
7) Introduced Policy No.2 - the nation will hv sufficient & efective public transport. Revamp the keretapi tanah melayu into modern entity. introduced efficient & faster train services for the whole nation including Sarawak & Sabah. Not to forget to hv efficient & modern bus services across the nation. Discouraged the useage of car by introducing new heavy tax for car owwners. Built a complete network of foot walk-way with roofing across the nation. Built an exclusive & comprehensive & complete network of bicycle land across the nation. Then after that introduced luxury public transport by means of bullet train across the nation. So, when all the network of public transport hd been establish then, I will removed all the subsidies to the fuel to market price to discouraged further more car users. By the way, I will sell off the PROTON compy!
8) Introduced Policy No.3 - introduced healthy lifestyle to the nation. open up more big parks across the nation. open more gov sponser gym. scap off the F1 circuit, what a waste!
There's plenty more to do....... ofcoz to do all of tiz I will gathered all the best brain in the country to assist me. Used the fund from Petronas, Tax & revenue from Palm Oil & other crops + industries in the country. I also will outlaw the timber industry, enough of cutting the trees for export, save the planet.
Global oil demand likely to be unchanged this year: Petronas
KUALA LUMPUR: The global demand for oil this year is expected to remain relatively unchanged at 87.5 million barrels per day with weaker growth in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development countries to be offset by demand from Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa.
In stating this yesterday, Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) president and chief executive officer Tan Sri Mohd Hassan Merican said the emerging economies were expected to drive energy demand growth by about 2.2 per cent per year up to 2030.
“This demand growth has created a strain on supply, resulting in crude oil prices reaching a historical high this year,” he said at the 13th Annual Asia Oil and Gas Conference which was officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
These developments, according to Mohd Hassan, are part of a broader transition in the oil and gas industry to a new era whereby many of the concerns regarding the industry’s ability to meet the sustained growth in global energy relate to the above-ground risks such as access to reserves, infrastructure and human capital, rather than the below-ground endowment.
“While we should not underestimate the magnitude of the below-ground challenges, from maturing producing fields to the difficult geology of frontier areas, the world is not running out of energy resources,” he said.
“The crucial question is how much of this endowment can actually be recovered, at what pace and at what cost.”
Mohd Hassan also said that technology would play a key role in ensuring supply availability amid concerns of seeming inadequate levels of investment to meet expected rising world demand for oil over the coming decades.
Notwithstanding the recent lack of discoveries of new major oil fields, he said innovation has proved adequate to meet the ever-rising demand for oil.
“The industry is at a critical juncture that calls for innovative and bold solutions and the world is looking to us for direction on the war forwards,” Mohd Hassan said.
“New models of cooperation and collaboration will be needed between producers and consumers alike as well as between international oil companies, national oil companies and service companies to achieve real progress,” he said.
He added that efforts should also be focused on supporting the formulation of sound energy policy, intensifying research and development efforts and addressing industry-wide capacity and capability shortages.
On the consumers’ side, Mohd Hassan said much needed to be done to ensure that greater energy efficiency is achieved.
“In Asia, I believe more can be done by policy makers towards reaching higher standards of energy efficiency across the board, from the burning of fossil fuels by the power generation and manufacturing sector, to solving the problem of traffic gridlocks through better public transportation,” he said.
Mohd Hassan said nations should also work towards a gradual removal of generous energy subsidies, which he added “caused unmitigated consumption and market distortions that are unmanageable in the long run”.
“Saving energy is no longer about achieving cost-savings — it is a matter of survival and providing for the future generation,” he said.
im Jack here again let me response to tiz stupid anonymous who said......... "what has frozen ministers trips overseas to do with whooping fuel price?
What has frozen of civil servants entertainment allowences do with whooping fuel price. I don't see this has any relationship with the whopping oil price and also the increases in the costs of goods in the markets..............."
hey idiot....the real coz of fuel price hike is coz by global crude oil price hike, jack-up by futures crude oil traders frm all ovr the world & nt just by American traders alone. The situation was worsen by the geoplitical unrest in the middle east.
hey idiot, u seem want to divert all the atentions of real issues ovr here. It's about the suffering of the rakyat bcoz of the failure of corrupt BN gov to plan ahead about 10 yrs ago to ovrcome tiz problems. The nation can't avoid tiz problem but at least the gov hd to devise some long term solutions abt 10 yrs ago to cushioned tiz problem.
Hey idiot, let me ask u tiz simple question....r u willing to see the BN ministers living luxurily & wastefully and let the poor rakyat especially the kampung people suffered? I bet u r one of those dayak BN minister....if so what hv u done to the dayak people in yur area??? so far I don't see any meaningful contributions frm all of u besides eating our hard earn income tax $$$ like a parasits. shame on u.
wah you people know how to swear and curse already, very-very unBidayuh to swear and curse others you know.
At least jack knows about the whooping global oil price I appreciate that. But to say someone idiot again s very childish unless you are an idiot yourself.
How do you know that we did not make any contribution, have you visited my constituency there are good schools, good tar seal road, almost all the kampongs in my constituency has treated water supply. some families can afford to or three cars even though kancils. They would not have bought cars if there are no roads leading to the kampungs. Had it not been for the BN leaders there would have been no roads to their kampong. So said that the kampong people are worse off. If the plant rubber, the price of rubber has gone up to RM8 kg per day and if they are able to tap 100 kg per day they will earn about RM4000.00 which is far more than what I earn as waiter in one of the international hotel in Kuala Lumpur. They don suffer. TBS admits this in his postings that there are plenty of rice. His father does not go to their farm by car or goes to the rubber garden by car either. They don't have to spend on fuel. But I have to pay for rent in KL and also other incidentals. It is us who stayed in town who feel the pinch. We go to Subang, we have to use taxi, everywhere we go we need money. At home you can swith off your lampu kalimantang at 9.00. SO the pinch is more felt by us, the city folks. At the kampung, the jungle is your super market.
I don like the idea of you cursing-cursing, and if I am an idiot, you too are also one of them.
Cheers selamt ngintu andu gawai ayeh.
My road from Bayur to Serumah has not been tar yet, even we have asked for it for more than 20 years. No allocation or fund said James Dawos, right after he won. But he promised likewise before election. So, i guess the Idiot is Mr. Anonymous. Hey, i think he is Mr. Peter Minos, who claimed he the champion of DAYAK and all the NGO.
Serve you right. Every election BN lost. The Braang people never vote for BN. I met the Ketua Kampongs from Kampong Segandar, Payang and Serumah during the gawai. They were scares and malu to meet the YB because their kampong voted for the opposition. This is a non issue since your kampong folks do not support BN why should you ask BN do tar seal the road.
Hi, im Jack again & I would like to response to....Mr Anonymous who resonse to me with...."wah you people know how to swear and curse already, very-very unBidayuh to swear and curse others you know......."
Wow, im surprised to get attention frm u. I didn't knw who u r but nw I knw u r Bidayuh yurself. yes im also Bidayuh. Thanks for yur response. I expect u r older with few generations away then me & im just only a young man with stil a lot of stuff to learn. yes im stil learning & wil continue to learn. I expect u makan mo garam then me.
well to u sir, 1st of all I would like to apologize for calling u idiot & I don't meant it if u said that im cursing or swear at u. im trying to avoid that stuf & its nt good. we Bidayuh r very well known as a gentle, polite & well manered race. I guess im picking-up tiz bad habit frm the west msian. ovr there, they like to curse a lot like "babi" for example. I don't knw abt dat "childish" stuf u r talking abt. maybe yes maybe nt. I try my best to be a better person.
dear sir, what's transpired is we r all ovr here r a young blood & we can get emotional very easily. im just frustrated abt the difficulty & hardship that i will face bcoz of fuel price hike but im also frustrated abt the same problems that will befall upon the low income earners, the poor & the kampung people. they all will be suffer & hit hard by tiz crisis.
even bfore tiz fuel hike happen, I already stuggle to cope with inflation that rising quite fast tiz year. I hd already change my life style long time ago & tiz yr I hd to dwngrade further more bfore the fuel price hike. I just wish that gov hd prepared all of us much earlier way back in the yr 2000 to face the crisis that we r hving right nw.
dear sir, I would like to cycling to office but there's no dedicated bicycle lane available especialy for cyclist. it's to risky trying to ride on the road, along with cars, motorbike etc. if im using bus, i will be late to come to work bcoz of unpunctuality of the bus driver. and van sapu is to expensive to daily travel to work.
dear sir, watever the differences of opinion abt anything btw two of us, i stil respect u as a person. but don't expect I will be soft on any delicate issues concerning the way BN gov conduct their biz to govern tiz country. YES,I support fully for tsbbidayuh for what he has done as blogger. tsbbidayuh is the voice of the new young generations of BIDAYUH people whether u like it or nt.
ok sir, we will meet again on tiz cyberspace for another battle. I hope u r a gd opponent.
Dear Anonymous,
Datuk Yong who is a Chinese from SUPP party did great compare to our local Bidayuh James Dawos, Jerip, Peter Minos, etc. When Dawos who first time stood in this area won, he promised to tar seal the road, which was constructed by Datuk Stephen Yong and William Tanyuh. We voted for BN. Is not about the party. Its about James Dawos and Jerip who failed as pure Bidayuh Leader.
Please do your homework. Jangan nak angkat burit James Dawos sebab nak ambik projek projek kampung. Nak untung atas angin jer. If you only hope for government project to earn a living, u better go to those heavily corrupted infested country like Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Sudan.
My dear fren, BN does not own the government money, it belong to all of us. If the Bidayuh can change the government here, we hope James Dawos, Peter Minos, Jerip step down in order to give ways to leader with integrity and accountability.
The Braang Tribes will vote for others not because BN is lousy but we have lousy/liar representative
here.
Regards
Jack would like to respnse to "......Serve you right. Every election BN lost. The Braang people never vote for BN........"
It's the responsibility & the obligation of the government of the day to tar the road from Bayur to Serumah since the Braang people are the Malaysian citizen.
Now BN is holding the gov of the day. BN now have the access to the public fund. One of the uses of public fund is for the rakyat development like- tar the road from Bayur to Serumah. The gov must tar the road wether the Braang people vote for BN or not. So it's very irresponsible of BN politician to deny the Braang people of any development. The public fund is not BN $$$. The $$$ belong the the rakyat & BN is only a caretaker & now BN is not doing a good job by denying the Braang people this essential development.
This response from our anonymous friend shows how arrogant is the BN politician when they are on power. They have forget that they were elected by the majority of the rakyat. & im sure these very same majority of rakyat who voting BN for power, want to see some development for the Braang people regardless of whether the Braang people vote for BN or not. It's their rights to do so anyway & BN must respect that rights else why holding an election in the first place. This is democracy & is BN trying to kill democracy by punishing the rakyat that are not voting for them???
