Solution by Government??

Perhaps, yesterday was another date when Malaysia (particularly middle class) will struggle to cope with the challenging situation as they had before..40% increases of fuel price yet again caused a storm through out the nationwide. I saw Malaysian line up with a long line just to make sure their tanks were full filled for a long ride today. For me, I just stepped over yesterday and just passing through the crowds with barely looks. As a hardcore traveler, of course I’ll get the immediate effect. We’re talking about 40% increases of expenditure. Not to mention other things which is instantly going up too (maybe more than 40%!)..So just now, I have emailed my boss suggesting my opinions which I hope will reach to the top management. Well, they need to know isn’t it? I will voice it up and not taking for granted of anything.
I’ve been doing some research whether reducing the subsidies is the only answer in order to avoid so called ‘subsidized washed out’. This may helps in someway, but I think the government should have considered manipulating the RM exchange (quoted from che det).Yes, that would be great too. By strengthening RM then we will get less effect. Furthermore, in order to get the money back (the subsidized money), perhaps they can get it back by charging more taxes to the ‘cigarette industries’. Well at least you can throw 1 stone for 2 birds. If they are willing to pay the taxes then we can more money to cover back the subsidized or if they don’t want to pay then we can get healthy Malaysian. At least that would be great too.
For me, I have given the government my vote of confident. But to coming with a solution like this, it is far from satisfaction. I need more solution. There are lots of other ways to overcome this situation and by hoping that give some money would be enough then I would say that money is only another waste.

Tengah sedap simpuh berangan
