Explain the petrol price hike, Gov’t told

The federal government must explain the petrol price hike effective since last midnight.
This was totally unfair for fellow Malaysians who were already going through arguably the most difficult economic time of their life in Malaysia, with many poorly implemented fiscal policies especially the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and yet the government of the day has conveniently increased Malaysians’ burden yet again by increasing petrol price by another 10 sen.
The Brent crude oil price closed at US$48.20 a barrel yesterday according to Reuters, about 10 percent lower than last month.
Malaysians should be looking forward to cheaper oil prices in 2015 as there were no signs of recovery in the price of oil.
The rational behind the decision to increase the fuel prices by another 10 sen per litre effective last midnight is therefore in question.
The increase was simply not acceptable, especially for Sabah, as Sabahans have been living a more burdening life than the rest of the Malaysians for decades, with price uniformity programmes failing to achieve the objective of one Malaysia one price.
The government can no longer treat Malaysians as fools. They must explain the price hike or reduce the petrol price immediately.
