Before 1990 - RM 0.89
1990 - RM 1.10 (increment of RM 0.21)
01/10/2000 - RM 1.20 (increment of RM 0.10)
20/10/2001 - RM 1.30 (increment of RM 0.10)
01/05/2002 - RM 1.32 (increment of RM 0.02)
31/10/2002 - RM 1.33 (increment of RM 0.01)
01/03/2003 - RM 1.35 (increment of RM 0.02)
01/05/2004 - RM 1.37 (increment of RM 0.02)
01/10/2004 - RM 1.42 (increment of RM 0.05)
05/05/2005 - RM 1.52 (increment of RM 0.10)
31/07/2005 - RM 1.62 (increment of RM 0.10)
28/02/2006 - RM 1.92 (increment of RM 0.30)

In the time of the previous Prime Minister, the fuel increased RM0.48 (red) for over 22 years of his management. Now only 2 years ++, the government had raised the fuel price to RM1.92 per liter (RM0.50 increased). What does this indicate? Our previous management is better? The current one is facing problem to manage the country? The world fuel price fluctuate more compare to years before 2004?

Don't get me wrong here, I am not trying to point finger at anyone. For long run, I think this is what the government have to do. However, the after math of this issue that is scaring the people. Inflation, price of goods increases, cost of living, car maintenance and the list goes on...

Is our public social benefit good enough to take care of the people? or do we have one ahhh? Maybe we have but meant to take care of certain "people"... The rich become richer and the poor become poorer... It is a good time for Robin Hood to come into the picture....hahahaha...

Anyway, life goes on, right?
