The ROFL-ing Government

A good country must be governed by a good government, as the nation's future depends on the decisions made by the enforcers.

But try saying that to ANY Malaysian, and the answer will be "no".

The aftermath of the political "tsunami" during the election had seen the reducing of power by Barisan Nasional, and it seems that such aftermath could only signify more similar change of power to come.

As Mr Smarty Lim (translation of Lim Lek Chai lol), my MA lecturer always said "Malaysia memang boleh, APA PUN boleh".

Oops sorry sir XD

But that statement wasn't made barely out of for the sake of mentioning it. Over these few days the government again made some unbelievable (wanted to put the word ridiculous but I do not want to be under ISA scrutiny) decisions regarding on the subsidy of the nation's petroleum supply.

Okay here is the irony. When the government is often said to sufficiently subsidise petrol prices, the citizens are bracing themselves for the continuous increase of its price.

I really do not know, that why as a country which has the ability to produce petroleum ourselves, has to increase the prices to such an unreasonable amount as years went by? As predicted, the new petrol price in petrol stations should increase to around RM2.40 per litre, and THAT is an amount of concern to all of us.

Logically speaking, as the producers of petroleum, sufficient subsidy should be allocated and such privilege should be given to us Malaysians. Yes no doubt the world's deteriorating economy has a major part in the increase of the petrol price, but that is because most of the countries are not petroleum producers.

We are one.

Instead, we are advised to change our way of spending instead by the government. It's all over the papers. I seriously don't understand how the way of spending is related to the price of petroleum, but it seems like Malaysians have to live with another joke made by the government.

Gek sei.

Another gek sei scenario is that the government could not even fix a date to implement a decision. Just yesterday, the government announced that price of petrol will increase in August. But just moments ago, the parents of the babies whom my mom babysits for, came and told us apparently, the petrol price has just increased and the petrol stations near my house are full.

And trust me, it will REALLY be full.

See how much trouble caused thanks to the inconsistency of decision made by the government. It's just a simple task, yet it was not performed properly, for goodness sake.

Now here comes the STUPIDEST of all.

A ban was implemented to bar Singaporeans and Thais to pump petrol in petrol stations located in the border states of the northern and southern regions of Malaysia.

WHAT ON EARTH?

WAS PETROL CREATED FOR MALAYSIANS ONLY?

I seriously don't get the rationale of such nonsensical actions done by the government. Even a citizen like me, who doesn't really care about politics will also acknowledge that such action will only damage the political relationships between our nation and Singapore as well as Thailand. Also, you can imagine the amount of profits gone as a result of lesser customers as everyday plenty of Thais and Singaporeans stop by in these petrol stations to pump petrol. The veracity is that Malaysia now creates a situation whereby we cause lesser inflows of profits from these petrol kiosk businesses.

The government likes to do things which are against themselves. ROFL ain't it?

Sorry, though I should be studying now, I just have to complain as the government just ticks me off. I believed there are people out there who are more concerned than I am right now, but again, there's nothing we can do to stop the incessant jokes made by the government.

Malaysia memang boleh.
