On June 2008, Malaysian had been shocked by the increment of the fuel price as mush as RM 0.78 for petrol and RM 1 for diesel. The act had been taken by the government in order to reduce the subsidy than been provided by the government as the global fuel price increase.
Until October 2008, the fuel price had been reduce for three times and until 26 October, the fuel price in Malaysia is Rm 2.30.
On June 2008, the Malaysian citizen had suffered a lot of problem other than fuel price burden but also food price and other essential items price increment. The supplier had given the reason of the increment as a result of the increment of fuel price.
But, until today...the food price is still hiking and remain same as in June although the fuel price already reduces...
According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) until September 2008, had increased to 5.2% from January to September 2008. The increment shows how bad is the effect of fuel hike to Malaysian citizens daily life.
What actually happen here?..is it really true that the fuel price controlling other items prices?...What can government do?...
Fuel price always be a reason for the items price increment, but when fuel price drop...nobody bother to revise the price...
Actually, there is nothing that government can do...
No way to force peoples to sell items cheaper...
The only thing that we can do is...BOYCOTT the stinky seller...
Do buy your groceries at hypermarket that give low price instead of buying at groceries shop...
There is nothing that government can do by using diplomatic action...Only law and force can change this...
This trend will keep remain even though the fuel price is reaching RM 1 per liter...

WHY FLOUR PRICE IS INCREASING???
We all know Malaysian government had increased the flour price today up to 10-30 cent per kilogram. If you wondering why this price is increasing,
here is some answer that might cool you down...
Beginning of this year, many wheat field had decreased their production because of the bad weather such as drought in Europe and Australia. The demand for bio-fuel in Europe also the contribute factor for the price raise. This contribute to low flour production and the price had increased up to 70%...
The price is increasing from US$235 per tonne before September to US$400 now. The current flour price in Malaysia is between RM1.35 to RM1.50.
So, the flour price raise is nothing to do with CONSPIRACY...
The GOOD news is the price raise would not be for long as the drought in Australia end as said by Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal. So, don't worry...
So, the point here is...before you complaint..make sure you not what happen... We all know this world had almost reach the end of the day...so, is not a weird thing about shortage of our need nowadays...:)
Advice from me, try to eat less food from wheat as there are imported stuff...and eat something LOCAL...eat more RICE... :)
Try not to eat ROTI CANAI, BREAD, and other flour products for a few month..this can help to pressurized the bread and flour industry all over the world as the flour demand lesser but the flour production keep increasing... :)
So, whatever you do...DON'T BLAME OUR GOVERNMENT... unless you have prove..be WISE..
