Malaysian Political Scenario...Harga Sudah Naik Lagi?

YES...I have not been blogging for quite a while. Time constraints. Nothing to tell. Banyak kerja lain. But today, I am reorganising and rearranging my internet blogs and hopefully I will be able to write more often. I am...I guess like everybody else is observing the political scenario and the petrol price hike...and everything that gains in pricing. Rice, flour, chicken prices have been like a limbo...I normally eat Pearl Jasmine Rice that is less than RM 30 per 10kg. Now the price is like RM48 per 10kg! And the petrol...RM50 can fill only slightly more than 18 litres of petrol...and if you travel a lot....imagine how much increase we need to have on petrol monthly alone.
Thank God I don't have to travel far...but still the price hike still affect my bank balance and my pocket...or purse. Roti Canai is getting thinner and more expensice. Kuih muih are also facing similar scenario. Topped up with our political musings,acts and antics, I feel my head is going to explode!
I have never seen Malaysia in this political situation yet. It makes me worry...I love this country but sometimes I feel like emigrating. I am worried if my beloved country will be another Pakistan,Palestine or Phillippines in the near future. We need strong leaders. Leaders who are capable of thinking beyond everything. To be able to analyse, predict and interpret matters that can be of useful or bad to the people or country. Leaders must be working for the people and make people happy. They must know the people's problems and rectify them as soon as possible.
With all the food and petrol price hike, we,especially the rest of Malaysians with average incomes or even worst poor, will feel the highest blow. The rich and the millionaires will not be affected. They will still be laughing to the bank, hiring drivers, playing golf and travelling abroad.
Politicians have all the privileges that the rest of the citizens don't have. They also have drivers, cooks, escorts, personal assistants, allowances and bonuses that keep them on cloud nine. They will not understand what the normal people like us are facing. The hardship and the sweat that fall everyday to feed the family. They,the politicians and leaders do not have to face traffic jam everyday,buy chicken and rice at the market,queue at the post office...and the lists go on. I am worried. I feel like we are not protected anymore. I never feel like this with the old premiership. But now I feel in danger. May God help and protect us all.
