Petrol Prices to go Down this MIDNIGHT!

I'm glad I'm working till midnight today. Cos...

Our current PM has announced that petrol prices are going down by 15 cents at midnight.

The socio-political bloggers have criticised the move to be a feel-good gimmick by the current administration targeting the Permatang Pauh by-elections. Well, as long as it benefits me, I'm happy.

In other news, our inflation rate has ballooned to the highest in 27 years (MalaysiaKini). If you don't know, its caused by the Gomen advised petrol hike.

This is how I see the history:
- B4 '08 elections, Gomen declare no petrol increase till August
- However, Gomen not enough money. Subsidies = billions.
- Shit, cannot wait till August. PM makes a tough call.
- Gomen increase petrol prices
- Everything go up (prices, inflation, interest rates), except salary
- People complain, murmur, protest
- Opposition takes advantage of the situation & garners huge support
- Gomen realised they made a mistake, *duh*
- Gomen try to send 'rookie' for debate against 'veteran'
- Gomen thinks its a good idea to reduce petrol price
- Plan target to execute on 1st Sept. 2008
- However Gomen thought,"Crap, if reduce in Sept, will be too late to win Permatang Pauh"
- So...

Will update later if I really get to pump unleaded fuel at RM 2.55 a liter.
