John D sent me this above chart with the tariff of our petrol prices in Malaysia and posed me this question, "why is the cheaper and lower grade RON95 pegged at RM3. 35 as actual price as compared to the higher grade RON97 at RM 2.90 as actual price ?"Given the fact that our wonderful and "rakyat-at-heart" BN government has given a "huge" subsidy and waived taxes of RM1.45 to bring the RON95 to a selling price of RM1.90 and with no relief for the better/higher grade RON97 users, a question begs an answer as to why a lower grade petrol (RON95) is actually priced higher then the better/higher grade RON97, no ??
It is a conspiracy by the inner circle "think-tank" members of the 1Najib administration to hood-wink the masses into thinking we have a caring government who'd put the ordinary folks who drive ordinary cars, yours truly included, when all this time we've been buggered blind !
By right the actual cost of RON95 which is supposed to be of lower grade, should also be lower then the actual cost of RON97 which is RM2.90. Then the actual price of RON95 should be, say RM2.50 or RM2.60 and minus the "rakyat-at-heart" BN government's generous subsidy of RM1.45 we should actually be paying say about RM1.05 or RM1.15 per litre, right ??
So all you ordinary Malaysians out there who have been buggered blind for so long, (me included) wake up from this "action now, people first" hollow sloganeering. We have never been given any subsidy in the first place. The government has taken us all on a long and over 50 years "ride" as John puts it, and it's time we slam the emergency brakes on these so-called cleverly disguised generosity dished out by the government of the day and lets all engage into over-drive and cruise into a new era where a subsidy IS a subsidy and not mere political voter garnering lip-service.
We'll teach them a lesson they won't forget for generations to come and tell them never to think us Malaysians are fools. We'll teach that lesson with our votes in the ballot boxes on election day, okay folks ?
Vote for change....change is always good !

I can safely say that the average Malaysian is spending 10-15% of their income on transport, if not more.
Most of it is on petrol because OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IS SCREWED!
So, what is the govt going to do about it?
this robbing is going for far too long. time to put a stop to it come GE13. come on Mr PM bring it on.
btw we should say no to Madhadism .and boycott the new brand of Petron. trying to ride on the already established brand of PetroNas no doubt.
well, don't call other people liars when you don't learn about the demand & supply theory in uni.. opps.. maybe you didn't have the chance to go into one..
the fact is that, even diesel price has recently became more expensive than gasoline price.. just like what you said, diesel has lower quality than gasoline so why is its price higher than gasoline? the answer is, it is because the demand for diesel is higher than the demand for gasoline, and that is why the price of diesel at that time went higher than gasoline..
my advice is, do some research before you want to blame others.. and before you want to call them liars.. :)
