Pak Lah to announce steps to ease fuel price rise burden

For those of us whom read this piece news in the local MSM last week (July 14, 2008), it brought a glimmer of hope that at least our gomen is really really trying to help us the poor tax paying citizens..

In case you need to refresh your memory on what the PM said, below is the link :-

Me thought that gomen makers will have positive measures like reducing our personal income tax, reducing tolls charges, reducing what can still be reduced to make life a bit more comfortable for the fixed income employees liked us..

D Day arrived (Friday), I was waiting to rush home to listen to Bernama News on THE annoucement, well, well, our dear PM did announce something positive...

Taxis will get 720 litres of fuel a month at RM1.92

details as per below link :

Did this benefited the majority citizens? Definitely not me, or the family ..


the price of my Curry Mee will still remains at RM5 / bowl (from RM4.50 before the fuel hike)
