Petrol Price Down, Petrol Rebate?

If you haven’t filled up your car at the nearest station, you should. Because you’ll be dancing and shaking your bonbons. The current market price as of 3rd December 2008 is RM 1.90 per liter. Below the initial price of RM 1.92.

However we missed out on the Petrol Rebate which can STILL be collected at your local post office. No one would say no to RM600.

If the government decides to put a brake on this, what’ll happens to the December road tax renewals? Should the government decline their rights to collect the rebate? Oh my, what a tight situation we have here.

Now for the sake of argument, those are tax payer money. And with the edgy economic crisis, cash is power. If we give the money to vehicle owners, the gov will have lesser money to spend. Likewise, vehicle owner’s neck. A classic case of “telan mati mak, luak mati bapak“.

Although I’d like to think the gov have alienated the rebate money, those money could be spent to cultivate our economy, especially the food sector. Hey, we all need to eat to live, and Halal food is where we can aim our guns at.

Speaking of food, why is it heavily priced? Blame the fuel hike? Not anymore. The gov should really investigate middle man and suppliers in great detail. They could be raking huge unseen profits.

Since petrol price fluctuates in accordance to world’s demand, I’ll let this slip and not blame the government but anticipate their next move.

ps: Dr Sarah (soon-to-be), I’m sorry for your loss. If you need database help, let me know.

pss: Megat, don’t quit. Your fight to change Malaysian’s way of thinking is nowhere to close to an end. In fact it’s just beginning.

psss: Nokia E71, Apple iPhone, Samsung Omnia or HTC Touch Duo? Battle of the PDA.. scrap! New 24″ LCD please.

Ah, clever idea. If I were him. I’d stick to RM2 per liter. Rake profit from rakyat and use it to expand economy.

Ah, do you think they will do that? The so called savings from oils subsidy.. what happened to the public transportation system?

Expand economy is the least on their thought. Saving the stock market yes… because there are many fat cats to be saved.

Walaupun saya belum lagi menjadi pemilik kenderaan di Malaysia, tapi saya sangat kasihan melihat ayah saya menanggung 4 buah kereta yang mana 2 daripadanya more than 2.0.

-Saya malu bila ada a few Russian friends asyik tanya pasal isu minyak kita yang kalau turun pun, sikit sangat dan masih tak cecah our expectation. Dan dia persoalankan, the rebate won’t be given for twice. So, why should we agree with the idea. It gives us no benefit. If it does, it’s only for a short term. Suka ria dengan duit tu, lepas tu habis (well, u know Malaysias…) Come to rationalize this, yep, it doesn’t.
-Thanks Eddie for the offer! many2 thanks. my bro’s friend showed up just before u left the comment and he helped me out.
-Your comment’s at Nadia’s is really something. Huhu. It triggered me to smile =p

Jap.. byk nye kete awak! Lebih 2.0 liter tak semesti nya lagi kuat makan minyak. Kereta saya 2.8 liter. Apabila atas highway, tak pernah kurang dari 140kmh. KL-Batu Pahat-KL, RM100 = 50 liter = 580km. Setaraf kerete biase. Bile traffic jam je, pedih skit.

ps: Tiada niat utk berlagak atau tunjuk tere (drive laju) nak cerite je.

p/s: kalau kereta 2.0 and above disqualified for rebate, no?

OH! You read me inside out. Got to learn to shave that habit, because I am environment frenzy, so I should act like one!

Yes, 2.0 above doesn’t qualify for the rebate.

In US, they are paying for petrol price equivalent to RM1.74 per litre. This is becoming a joke. Come on, taxing rakyat when already they earn pure profit from no subsidy and sales? Joking…

Oh yea, E71 or HTC Touch Duo.

Samsung Omnia, many bad feedbacks, basically a pretty looking crap.

iPhone, too expensive, limited functions, more for gaya lebih.

E71 a bit ugly, screen tad bit too small for PDA phone, sms-ing is a pain in the ass.. but functions packed :up: Forget the look factor, get a Bluetooth keyboard.. you own the world? HAHA!

HTC Touch Duo.. (or Dual?) - Hmm.. HTC make good phones, latest Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 the hardware made by HTC. Pretty phone, with more than enough functions, worth considering.

December 4, 2008 at 2:34 pm

E71 is not bad looking. Downside small screen, small keyboard but longer batt life. Can install GPS too :P
Omnia & iPhone too pretty to lose. I’ll pull my goatie if I misplaced them. Besides, for that kind of money, I should just get a Netbook with usb GPS.

Aku rasa bertuah bila minyak turun sikit sbb kerja aku pusing2 dengan kereta everyday, kadang2 sampai JB or Sg Petani. Bab rebet ntahlah, kalau nak bagi aku sapu tak bagi pun tak kisah. Mcm NH cakap buleh guna untuk benda lain like food. Aku sokong kau. Cuma yang pasti harga barang tak kan turun punya. Most of peniaga kat Pasar Borong Selayang yg aku tanya kata over head coz tinggi. Gila diorang ni.

ps:apek yang jual sayur kat pasar aku tanya “minyak tulun apa pasai talak tulun harga”, dia jawab “lu tak belajar ekonomi mana lu tau ini hal”,
pss: apek pun tau bab ekonomi gak ekk..
