The last hurrah at the pump |
Today (3 September 2013)'s petrol and diesel hike by 20 sen is going to unleashed untold misery except to those who are filthy rich and the business circle. Even those in middle wage brackets will feel the sting as their pay packet will not be enduring enough to take both direct and indirect effects of this hike.
If you pump about RM 60.00 petrol a week, add RM 12.00 directly and be ready to face the brunt of the inflation from food and services price from now on.
Be afraid for it will eat into a big hole in your tight budget!
Even the poor motorcyclists are bedevilled! |
So, look for ways to reduce the damage.
Cut off the habit of carrying too many credit cards. Cancel unnecessary personal insurance.
Eat less at restaurants and avoid the cinemas as often as you can.
Remember: A ringgit save is a ringgit earned!
