Who's Having The Last Laught ?


I am glad I am still having my 660cc Kancil car. Previously I was complaining about my 1800cc Totota Uncer fuel consumption which is so high. So I got myself a second car to drive around town and for my marketing work. Some friends was commenting that it doesn't suit me at all driving a kancil especially as a Manager. In fact, I wanted a scooter. Well, I am a type of person who doesn't care much about status. Just want to stay free from debts and be happy with life. With the recent fuel hikes, I am glad I can still be laughing around since my car financing is almost over.

Here is the history of Malaysian Petrol price:

before the 90's - RM 0.89

1990 - RM 1.10 (increased RM 0.21) + 23.596%
01/10/2000 - RM 1.20 (increased RM 0.10) + 9.091%
20/10/2001 - RM 1.30 (increased RM 0.10) + 8.333%
01/05/2002 - RM 1.32 (increased RM 0.02) + 1.538%
31/10/2002 - RM 1.33 (increased RM 0.01) + 0.758%
01/03/2003 - RM 1.35 (increased RM 0.02) + 1.504%
01/05/2004 - RM 1.37 (increased RM 0.02) + 1.481%
01/10/2004 - RM 1.42 (increased RM 0.05) + 3.650%
05/05/2005 - RM 1.52 (increased RM 0.10) + 7.042%
31/07/2005 - RM 1.62 (increased RM 0.10) + 6.579%
28/02/2006 - RM 1.92 (increased RM 0.30) + 18.519%
05/06/2008 - RM 2.70 (increased RM 0.78) + 40.625%

Norae, bukan setakat minyak yang nail 125%. Kalau di perhatikan, besi juga naik lebih dari 125% jika dibanding sekarang dengan tahun 2006. Kita sahaja yang tidak tahu. Tapi kerajaan masih hapuskan harga kawalan terhadap besi.

kbguy,
its a good thing you use only kancil despite your status. Mind telling what business are u in?

I am still using my wira SE. full tank near to rm 100 now.

However I find a new way to exercise now, by sending my daughter to nursery by walking hehe about 20 minutes walk every morning,,yup no kidding . It makes me more healthy..

I really would love to thanks this tp our"beloved" PM. If not I might not think about this hehehe

Actually I am looking for a cute scooter, the old skool type. Paying for petrol is annoying me also it's easier to stop and get off a scooter to snap pics. Not to mention saving lots of money. Burning cash is not "ON"....

It's going up everywhere but I bet the price in the Netherlands is the highest.
