Rumours Spark Panic

I just received a rumours about 3p.m. today that all the petrol kiosks in Miri, Bintulu, Labuan, KK, (almost effect whole Sarawak, Sabah, Labuan) will be on shut down for 3 days. We don´t know what the actual cost and who start the rumours. But the effect of the rumours is tremendously effect each one of us. Immediately after office hours, people queue up at all the petrol stations. It cause traffic jam to other road users. But there must be reason for it.

So what make this rumours to spread so fast. People is queue like mad. Like the world will be end. Or like the oil will run out of stock. Imagine 20 years to come, when the oil will start runing low, I guest the whole population will start buying petrol like wild. maybe riot will happen. or people start killing each other for petrol. We don know what will happen next.

Guest the government start rising the fuel is in wrong time, and surely not the correct way of increasing the petrol price so dramatically without considering the attitude of we Malaysian. But what happen to Petronas? it ?. So many reasons been given by them. and the reason keep changing. What are they try to tell us? What happen to all the profit they got? We all the profits Petronas earns, it can channel back the rakyat by reducing the price of the petrol. In fact the government not even to subzised the petrol. The money then can channel for other use.

Well, we just have to wait and see what happen next. The world crude oil will surely increase. Even after the emergency Oil meeting submit in Jeddah recently, the committee still find no resolve for the decrease of the crude oil per barrel, even the Arab country agreed to increase it production.

Guest we all need to bear the high price of the petrol nowaday. Now my petrol cost for me to journey from Bintulu to Labuan is cost about RM140!!!
