so… wat’s the moral of the news?
what can 30-50 sen buy you? nothing much rite?
so it’s not material to us…
but what can 30sen X 2 ways X 5 days = one plate of cheap lunch?
i know… i can get two pack of nasi lemak at natural…

so.. wat’s next to increase?
or we should take over all the toll company and ask them to cut on toll collection.

some research was done to check on the people's reaction..
most of them object..
why.. at this difficult time...
isn't the government is suppose to help it's ppl at difficult time???
anyway.. the country's money still come from the country's people...
so why not use it on the people?
so.. what our new finance minister have to offer in his new 'saving' malaysia package?
