Cheaper Fuels

Gratz to all Malaysian. Our goverment is slashing the fuel price again, to RM2.45 per liter for petrol and RM2.40 for diesel. It is considered as a "massive" 10 cents reduction. Yes. You saw it right. It is 10 cents reduction, after the world crude oil price falls and stayed at around USD100 per barrel, from USD140 per barrel.

So, the petrol price is about the same as diesel's price. So, people, please be considerate to me. I'm using diesel. Don't use those lame excuse on me like last time, such as "Diesel is cheaper mah!!". I'll surely kick your @ss. Below are the events happened throughout the year :-

June 2008 - Crude Oil price rise steadily from USD110 ~ USD 140 ++
- Our petrol price hiked from RM1.92 per liter to RM2.70 per liter. A real massive hike of RM0.78 cents. Since we use the round up mechanism now, 78 cents is equivalent to 80 cents. Great tactic right?
Note : At USD110 ~ USD120, our petrol price can remain at RM1.92 per liter.
Excuse : The goverment lose too much to subsidized petrol/diesel.

Aug 22 - Crude Oil price is around USD120
- Our petrol price reduced to RM2.55 from RM2.70 per liter. 15 cents reduction while crude oil price has fall back to USD120 per barrel
Note : Fall of USD20 only cost us 15 cents. Hike of USD20 cost us 78 cents. Fair?
Excuse : Goverment will review oil price every 2 weeks.

Sept 24 - Crude Oil price at around USD100
- Petrol price is reduced again, by 10 cents to RM2.45 per liter. 10 cents reduction.
Note : 10 cents reduction only after oil price remains at USD100 for a week or two. No reduction for diesel.
Excuse : With the declining of crude oil price, Petronas is profit is lower.

So, can you notice the excuses given in just within 3 months? Where's the point? When crude oil price hike, goverment use subsidy as their excuse to increase our petrol price. Never mention about Petronas profit has become higher. Now, crude oil price fallen, excuse is, Petronas is earning less, that's why cant reduce our petrol price by too much. Maximum is by 10 cents. Where's the $ saved from subsidy arh? I really wonder..

Anyway, normal passenger car can carry about 50 liters petrol. 78 cents increase last time will cost us about RM39 extra to fully filled our tank. A 10 cents decrease will saved us ONLY RM5 when we fully fill the tank. This is the difference between rise and drop.

Is there any hidden agenda? ^^

Malaysia Today

I'm done keeping myself silence over the current politic issue in Malaysia. For the past few months, so much had happened and I do not know what to talk about or where to start.

So, the latest is about a racial remark made by Datuk Ahmad Ismail, calling Chinese are squatters in this country, and therefore deserve no equality. Below are the chain of things happened :-

1) Datuk Ahmad Ismail said Chinese are squatters in Malaysia
2) MCA, Gerakan request for an apology
3) Datuk Ahmad Ismail insists, he made no mistake and therefore won't apologize (He never deny he made such statement)
4) UMNO stripped Datuk Ahmad Ismail posts and suspended for 3 years (No ISA involvement, eventhough he made such remark that threats the national security. So weird)
5) Datuk Ahmad Ismail accepted the punishment but stays defiant (Still not denying he made suck remark)
6) Sin Chiew News reporter, H.C Tan arrested under ISA (Held under ISA because her life is threatened? Where is our police?)
7) Seputeh MP's Teresa Kok arrested under ISA, because of her comments on mosques and the Azan (How about Datuk Khir Toyo whom first made the allegations against Teresa? No ISA acts on him?)
8) Malaysia Today's blogger, Raja Petra also arrested under ISA, for incite racist feelings (How come Datuk Ahmad is not arrested under ISA when making racial remarks?)

I was hoping, someone with very good idea can come out to justify my questions on what's happening. Bare in mind, there'll be more questions though. LoL.

September 4th, 2008. I'm very happy. Finally get my dream HP after struggle for weeks, choosing between various models.

Front and rear view of my HP (by N78)

The HP doesnt come with memory card. So, I've to spend extra for a 2GB card. Ok lah, total damage to my bank a/c is RM13xx.00. Considering this HP met my requirement in every aspects.

I want a camera phone, which is good looking, and most important, slim. I'm looking at w890i and w910i actually. Both of them are W series, slim and stylish, but doesn't have good camera. K series, all are too thick for me, not stylish although have good camera. So, I continue to survey SE website everyday, and finally found this. 1 question, is the the model that will be use in the new James Bond movie?

C, the new series for SE camera phone, and stands for CyberShot. Great stuff, slim, and a camera phone with auto focus. If you want more information, try Google search for it. I'm not reviewing my HP here. I'm here just to show off. LoL. J/k.. dun get offended yea..

Below are samples from the SE C902 5MP HP. ^^
