Increase in fuel price, so what's next?

Last night, I was preparing dinner when my colleague called me.
He said "Bah, capat-capat ko pigi isi minyak. Badawi sudah announce naik RM0.70 bisuk."
I was trying to digest what he just told me.
Then he said "Ui, ko dengar kah?"
Then I responded "Punya gila tu kan. Matilah begini ni...semua harga barang naik."
He said "Bah apa buli buat, ko punya Pak Lah sudah announce begitu."

So, I went to the living room and told hubby about it.
Hubby seemed not surprised.

There you have it.
So, what's next in store for us dear government?
Please just don't give us another heart attack.

Our gas (fuel) here has gone sky high up too. It's now US$3.85 per gallon. Kalau disana they sell it per litre kan... so which means disana ada murah sikitlah... if they keep increasing it... bagus naik basikal lah ni...LOL.

Ya loh...ndak lama pakai basikal lah nie pigi opis. Government is only subsiding RM0.30 per litre here now. The oil companies must be laughing their way to the bank. Tambah miskin rakyat. Mogot ko sanaaaaaaaaaaaa jauh.
