The value of 30 cents
10 years ago, 30 cents would valued to
Some might say, "apalah nak kecoh-kecoh, 30 sen aje. Nak beli rokok sebatang tak lepas" or "argh, aku bukan naik kereta, bukan nya effect pun kat aku". But try to look it from other perspective. 30 cent raise is equavalent to 18.52% increament. Imagine before this you been spending RM200 per month for petrol, next month you'll be spending RM237.04 just for petrol. Okay RM37.04 is not that much? How about the (absolutely guaranteed) price increase for groceries items? or bills? or every other stuff?
As we all know, everything needs transportation. Vege/fruits from farm to the market. Products from the factory to the outlet. etc. etc. All these items need transportation to take them from one point to another and we all know, car/lorry/bus/train/plane/ship don't run with water. So with another petrol hike, who gonna absorb the increase in expenditure? Certainly for any businesses they don't want to absorb it. So in then end we as end user who will suffer. So an increased petrol price would indirectly affect the whole nation whether you driving a luxury SUV or just riding you mountain bike to school. And the funny thing is, our salary have been stagnant for the past 10 years or so. Imagine if we all have a 18.52% increament also. Wow!
Now who says 30cent can't buy you anything these days?
- 7 bijik gula-gula (20sen 5)
- 3 ais krim batang
- 1 1/2 karipap (20sen 1)
- sebatang dunhill
- Higher inflation
- Increase in electricity bills
- Increase for groceries items
- Increase for public transportation rate
- Semuanya increase laaaa

good observations.
aku purposely didnt isi minyak lepas aku tau harga minyak naik. and semlm aku isi, hmm the 18% increase sebenarnya not really 18%. it's 20%!
dulu 85, skang 105. kalau dulu rm10 can go up to 100km, skang ntah ler .. bersyukur aja la dengan apa yg ada

muz said: but the most important of all, the increase in my monthly petrol budget!
byk mana sgt la muztaffa ooii
1. jarak dr opis ke rumah 5km je. pegi balik baru 10km (bwk pung bayi kenari je,save minyak)
2. lunch gilir2 bwk keta
3. dinner jalan kaki je
4. kalo mlm2 pi lepak kat gold coast pun ada org yg amikkan (aku la tu)
5. latest, nak pi karaoke pung request nak carpool ngan aku.
kesimpulannya increase in petrol budget aku lagi byk dr kau huahuahuahua

Bertique: Really meh? Aku tak tahu pule cause aku tak isi minyak lagi post-hike. Wlaupun aku terasa dgn kenaikan ini, tapi alasan2 yg diberikan itu yg lebih membuat kan aku sakit hati. Rasa macam diperbodoh kan aje tsk tsk tsk
Ct A:Oi! itu yg ko kira daily. Yg aku nak kena simpan utk balik KL macam mana? Ala, ko kerja lama dari aku, saving lagi banyak, apa salah nya aku yg merantau ni menumpang kasih kat ko hahaha
p/s: weh tolong lah jangan ko dedahkan laman blog aku ni kat bebudak opis. Malu la aku nanti
