Good news to ease burden of the people. Fuel price in the nation will be reduced by another 10 cent starting on Wednesday.

The new price of RON97 petrol would be RM1.90 per litre down from RM2.00, while RON92 petrol and diesel would be down to RM1.80 from RM1.90 per litre.

I believe this is a good news to anyone who riding motorbikes or driving cars. It would be great is TNB can also reduce their price.

But at the same time, consumers will face another price increasing for vegetables and seafood. This is due to the weather factor that affecting the surge in vegetables and seafood prices, especially the rainy season between October and January.

In a list given by the Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Ministry, the price of red chillies has gone up to RM15 per kg from RM5, spring onions to RM8 per kg from RM2.50, cucumbers to RM2.50 per kg from 80 sen, salad to RM8 per kg from RM3, limes to RM5 per kg from RM2 and cili padi to RM9 per kg from RM3.

Do you notice how much different that is? With the reduce of 10 cent from fuel price, consumers will still facing tough time during this bad economy. I do hope the government could do something about it to ease our burden.

We as a consumer, we must also spend wisely.

It was on the news today, petrol and diesel prices reduced by 15 cent per litre. Yes, this is definitely a good news for all car and motorbike users/owners. This is a very good news in recent weeks of slow and bad economy. At least it did ease some burden of all Malaysian.

I believe price of other daily products should be also reducing immediately. If you realize that any where which they still doesn’t reduce price, boycott them! Even our Prime Minister and some ministers also voice out that we should boycott those outlets which refused to lower prices. Many businessmen or businesswomen will increase their price but will never reduce the price.

This is the fifth price cut since August.

Yesterday’s price of a barrel of crude was about US$56.

Talk about reducing price. Five times the petrol price was reduced but TNB still never reduce their price on the electricity bill. Do you think that’s fair for all Malaysian? TNB should be grateful because they are the only one to provide electricity in the country.

I calling upon our government to have a policy to have more than one supplier in any field. This is bringing more benefits to all Malaysian. More competitors mean more improvement. Improvement will help Malaysia to moving forward for better future.

We as the consumers, we must know our rights and how to protect our rights.

Mat Rempit! Many non-Malaysian will ask what is that mean. Mat Rempit is a Malaysian term for an individual who participates in illegal street racing, usually involving underbone motorcycles. Some of them was performing dangerous stunt act such as riding motorbike in Superman flying style.

Recently there are so many criminal cases involving Mat Rempits. You can always read on newspaper that Mat Rempits assault and robbing some road users. I was so mad and sad as this Mat Rempits culture causing bad image of our country in the eyes of the whole world.

Mat Rempits usually travel in groups and race in bustling city centres on weekend nights. In recent times, Mat Rempits have been linked to gangsterism, gang robbery, street fighting, assault, vandalism, theft, bullying and rape.

Some Mat Rempits do not have valid motorcycle licenses, do not pay road taxes, and ride stolen motorcycles.

Penang became the first state in Malaysia to pay its opposition leader an allowance. BN rules Malaysia for over the pass 51 years but never paying allowance to opposition leader. Now Pakatan Rakyat who rules Penang is paying allowance to the opposition leader and the opposition still criticised the state government was not sincere and even said the amount was too low.

I was so disappointed when I read the news. Why don’t BN paying opposition the allowance on those states that they won? Want more? Why don’t BN also paying to the opposition leaders too?

Several Barisan Nasional assemblymen later called for a higher allowance, saying that the RM1000 was insufficient.

Penang Chief Minister’s Lim Guan Eng said the state would consider the request if all BN states gave similar recognition to their Opposition leaders. Could they do it? For the pass 51 years and they never do it. Now people giving you, you should be feeling grateful and not criticises people that way.

Raja Petra succeeded Friday in his bid to obtain a release order from detention under the Internal Security Act (ISA) via his habeas corpus application.

The judge ruled that the Home Minister had acted outside his jurisdiction when he issued the two-year detention order under Section 8(1) of the ISA.

The High Court here also allowed Raja Petra to be brought to court to be released today. I believe this would be good news for Raja Petra and his family, not only that it would be good news to PK and Malaysian. Many Malaysian like me would love to see Raja Petra release from ISA arrest.

Many politicians from BN also voice out that Raja Petra should not be arrested under ISA.

We must remember ISA was used to detaining communist in the old days. Yes, we can still apply this law but only to certain group such as terrorist.

Asked about his feelings on his release, Raja Petra said “I am too tired”.
