Good news, the government has lowered the retail petrol price by RM 0.15 to RM 2.55 a liter. Although the decrease is only 15 cents, this should at least help to curb inflationary pressure on commoner. However, it is also the responsibility of the relevant authorities to ensure the CPI index is also coming down accordingly. With the implementation of floating mechanism of fuel price, the government must also put in place sufficient measures to check on the prices of consumer items not been manipulated by irresponsible parties.
Ultimately, the government will still have to improve public transportation. Pak Lah himself experienced how bad was our komuter and LRT. If Pak Lah was so annoyed about the poor services of our public transport after one day he went undercover, he should indeed understand the feeling of the people who use the public transport day in and out.
