Talk of the Town-Ron95 or Ron97 petrol.

MERDEKA! MERDEKA! MERDEKA! I heard this on 31August2009 as Malaysian is celebrating National Day last Monday.

There was a time when I see 9cars out of 10 ,flying the Malaysian flags,90 house out of 100 houses,flying Malaysian flags during Merdeka Day celebration.But I'm sad this day. Now,all I can see is 1 car out of 100 car,flying the flag.I can see that all over Kuching City the commercial centre,not everyone fly the National flags.I only hope....none of my friends approach me and say "What's Up...to 1Malaysia and Fly Jalur Gemilang campange by the government.

Before 31 August 2009 I manage to pump petrol RON95 at the price of Rm1.75 per litter and on 01 Sep 2009 the day after Malaysia celebrating Merdeka Day petrol RON95 the prize increase by 5 cents.So this is become the talk of the town to-day.Merdeka gift to Malaysian.

"Most motorists here when met were wondering if indeed RON95 has special feature other than its higher price tag of Rm1.80 per litter"

They say most of the petrol station all over Kuching now stop selling RON97(Super).I'm not sure of its effects on my car's performance at the moment,because it is too early,but I'm willing to give it a try since I'm driving small compact car.Maybe I would purchase RON95 now that the price of RON97 (super) had gone up by 25cents from Rm1.80 to Rm2.05 per litter.Beside the prize factor I believe that there is no big quality difference between RON95 and RON97.

Look here somebody is not happy with the construction of petrol station near to their housing estate.

Good-then do it now! - Road Tax Subsidy.

Thank You ! Thank You !...or some may not be happy about this but for me ????How much is Enough??? Oh yes!!! I pay my motor insurance on 13June 2008 till 13June2009 amount Rm580.00

Roaf Tax 13June 2008-13June 2009 Rm20.00 .

850CC.

The red car is my car..so am I eligible for Rm625 cash fuel subsidy? Will go to post office and "Q"as early as possible hehehehe....on 1 July 2008....Good Luck !!!! How and When you can claim your Rm625.00 cash fuel subsidy?

As all of you probably know by now,those who own a car with an engine displacement of 2000CC and below,and have a road tax disc which will be renewable from 1st of April 2008 and the 31st of March 2009 will be eligible to a Rm625.00 cash subsidy in he form of a postal order.Those who have already renewed their road tax between 1st April this year up toth 31st of May 2008 will be able to pay a visit to one of 683 post office nationwide and claim your cash subsidy.Foe those whose road tax expires after 31st of May 2008 all the way up to the 31st of March 2009,collection of subsidy can be done from 1st of July 208 onwards.

All you need to bring is your IC(My Kad),ans the post office will look it up in the JPJ database to see if you qualify for the subsidy.

Indentity will be verified using fingerprints.

So Good Luck Malaysian and Have a wonderful day.

Bicycle & Petrol.

This small machine need fuel to run.Almost all perahu tambang(river taxi) in Kuching now use engine.Meaning for faster services to passengers.If other mean of transportation now going to increase the fare due to fuel price hike ..What about us ????the big question by parahu tambang operator.
May be Kuchingites prefer this for transportation...No worry about fuel hike.
or this.
Remind to bicycle rider ..use proper lane don't break the law.
Where to go now......ok to save my car fuel......I better walk.

Walking need no petrol..and also by walking keep me fit.
No more subsidy for this boat that use diesel.
Jimat cermat....now I don't hire taxi to transport my good..look here I think this is the best way and I hope the VVIP or YB's follow my example because I have change my lifestyle.
This two man in the picture may not understand what is going on or what the government's intentions are with all the economic jargons.Their priority at he end of the day is whether they can provide well for their family.
Perahu tambang operator said the hike was drastic and he was at his wit's end thinking about his next course of action...we cannot increase our fare without approval..Anyway increasing the fare is a final option.So from 30 cents to 40 cents ..ok.

Our Kuching Tourist Police now use bicycle for petrol ....but just for petrol at waterfront.
I'm going to modified this machine here ...& prepare for the worst-case scenario.
I kinda like this machine here ..3 in 1 bicycle.
The 60 years old Raleigh as mention by the owner.

So now the story of bicycle in Sarawak.

Very impressive!!!!! this for Pak Zawi of Life As I see It.

Posting about bicycle in his home town to read more kindly visit http://mohdzawi.blogspot.com

He ask me to write about bicycle in Sarawak.By all mean but very simple one .

Cycling is a good sport and way to keep fit.Another mean of transport too,with recend increase of petrol bicycle is the alternative mood of transport(for short distance of course).

The 60's bicycle were every where and almost every one rode a bicycle in Sarawak.They broke the every traffic law in the town.
There were good Raleigh bicycle.Those day for those who rode Raleigh bicycle is just like this day who rode Harley Davidson Motobike.

Most bicycle on sale now is from China.Tha Imam rode them,the Catholic priest rode them,teachers,nurse,policeman,the hawkers,housewive rode them and when the school session ended,there were thousand of them on the road.

PETROL

P E T R O L. Motorists in Kuching waiting for their turn to fill their petrol tanks at one of the petrol kiosks las night.
The news spread like wildfire,Less than an hour after the announcement of the increase in fuel prices,long queues were already forming at petrol station.
One of the petrol station.
Mad rush to refuell.
It was bumper to bumper at main commercial areas.

PETROL

RM2.70(up 40% from Rm1.92 per litre)

Government increases fuel prices to cut spiralling cost of subsidies.

My personal view :

#1.I'm all against the price hike because the increase is about 40 per cent,which mean I will have spend more.

#2.Why countries like Singapore are selling dearer fuel? BECAUSE they do not produce oil.

I felt that greater subsidies should be maintained in this oil-producing country (Malaysia).

#3.I believe that the rural area communities would be most badly affected because(the prices of)everything is going to increase now.
