"Petrol up from RM1.92 to RM2.70 >> 40% increased! Diesel up from RM1.58 to RM2.58 >> 63% increased!"

Malaysia government had annouced fuel hike for all the consumers from yesterday 5pm. It sent chaos to the whole country as everyone was rushing and queueing up at the petrol station. These people should be, I think, at home or restaurants having dinner. By 7pm, all the major roads were empty where all the vehicles were on the roads connecting to the petrol stations. The shopping complex, restaurants, night markets etc were like a "ghost area".

These kind of news really send a knee jerk reaction to the whole country and they are affecting by it badly. Can our Malaysia's economy sustainable? The KLCI reacting with a drop of 37.81pts to 1215.31pts as of now. Furthermore, Goldman Sach commented yesterday, Malaysia's market has gone into uncharted territory and they has downgraded the market here. This is not a good news...

If a person is earning at RM 5,000 per month, I would clasify him, now, as lower class of middle income group. If you want to be at the higher class of middle income group, I would say you need to earn RM 10,000 per month.

This fuel hike surely has it's effect on me too. What would others feeling now?

We cannot survive. So fuel price increase, time for us to change and increase our income not by saving only. Cause not much we can save, further more the fuel price will continue to increase. So saving is not way out. June 8
