There is a part of the article that made me laugh.
He said the price of Ron95, which would be raised to RM1.90 per litre from the current price of RM1.85, would still be lower compared to its retail price in Indonesia (RM2.46), Singapore (RM4.63) and Thailand (RM4.25).
Well, he calculates petrol price of our neighbour countries after conversion to ringgit. I don’t understand why he keeps on treating Malaysian as a bunch of fools. In fact, Ron95 in Singapore is cheaper than Malaysia as of now. Malaysian are smart people. Don't keep treat us like fools. Thank you.
RON95 in Malaysia = RM1.90
RON95 in Singapore = SGD 1.877
