Floor Price at RM3.00

Hello, today FOMCA (Federation Of Malaysian Consumer Association) is proposing that the floor price for petrol (if going to be set by the Government) should be at RM3.00 per litre! My God that's ridiculous. Their reason for proposing such a silly stuff? So that consumer will use more public transport and watch their usage of fuel. Sheesh. Such a funny reason.

Firstly, even as we speak, consumer already are watching their consumption of fossil fuel. I am a consumer of gas now. I know. We are monitoring and hey, if you haven't notice, there's a global economic meltdown out there!! That is an enough reason for us to do what you want us to do! 

Secondly, usage of public transport. Why? Cheaper? I'll give you this okay. When you increase the price to RM3.00 per litre, everything will go up. Not just petrol, but chicken, cooking oil, bus fare, taxi fare, cement, so on and so forth. So to say that you'll save more when the price of petrol increase usage of public transportation increase, it's easy to tell that last night you had been drinking a lot.

Do not propose anything stupid and ridiculous, no matter how cool it seems to you. There are millions of people who will suffer just because you want to have your 15 minutes of fame. To me, the proposal for RM3.00 per litre as floor price is a proposal without thinking and study altogether.
