After General Election, Now is General Erection

All prices of goods, foods, utilities and everything are increasing. Electricity up 18% for domestic users (unless you are using less than 200 kWh a mth) and 26% for commercial & industrial effectively on 1st July 2008, transportation charges also will increase and passing all the cost to end users. Will roti canai end up selling one piece at RM1.50? Broiler chicken ceiling price will also remove soon......

Question is, does the market ready for this changes? According to Pak Lah, inflation expected to increase to 4 - 5% and an impact on the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth.

Pak Lah also asked the rakyat not to demo on the street. Do you think so? One of the proposed location by Kit Siang is very near to my office and my MIL house, Jalan Pasar. 11.30am today, infront AM Bank and RHB Bank, near the traffic light.

随着首相阿都拉在昨日傍晚宣布汽油价格暴涨41%，在野党立即宣布在今天举行两场反对燃油不合理暴涨示威行动。

民主行动党中央政策与策略委员会主席兼怡保东区国会议员林吉祥(Lim Kit Siang)，昨日晚上在其部落格宣布，这两场示威行动将分别在怡保和吉隆坡举行。

第一场示威在怡保，将于早上11时在霹雳州贸消部办公室前举行。

第二场示威在吉隆坡，则会在早上11时30分在富都的巴刹路（Jalan Pasar，Pudu）前举行。

反对物品与服务收费涨价联盟（Protes）曾在今年1月举行一场示威行动，当时该联盟接获来自国油公司高层的可靠消息透露，在全国大选一过，每公升汽油将会上涨70仙。这个消息如今已证明属实。

汽油价格从今天起暴涨78仙或大约41%，从每公升1令吉92仙调涨至2令吉70仙；柴油从每公升1令吉58仙，调涨1令吉或63.3%，至2令吉58仙。

这个由多个职工会、反对党和非政府组织组成的联盟，曾在2006年燃油涨价举办一连串的示威行动，并且在去年1月1日巴生谷5条大道涨价，接连数个月主办大约5场反对大道涨价示威行为，并获得许多群众的参与，唯大多数的集会都遭到警方以暴力驱散。
