PROTES rally

Harga petrol masih stagnant pada harga RM 2.70 seliter..namun di harga pasaran ianya telah melonjak kepada USD$140 per barrel dan rata-rata pakar ekonomis menjangka bahawa pada kadar ketidaktentuan yang berlaku kini, kemungkinan besar harga petrol se barrel akan meningkat pada USD$ 150 come the month of August. antara faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan kenaikan harga minyak adalah pencetusan minda dan pertelingkahan lidah yang berlaku di negara2 barat dan juga Timur Tengah yang sedang cuba menggesa negara Iran untuk melupakan hasrat mereka untuk menjadi salah satu penjana senjata mahupun bidang akademik nuklear..rata-rata statement yang diberikan oleh negara Iran adalah mereka tidak mempunyai senjata nuklear seperti kuasa-kuasa besar DUNIA seperti AS, CHINA, RUSSIA dan FRANCE namun disebabkan terdapat ura-ura atau kemungkinan yang negara Iran sedang mengkaji nuklear for academic purpose, kuasa-kuasa BESAR dan Israel terasa gerun. dan setiap kali Israel atau negara2 bersekutu membuat statement ttg apa2 yg menyentuh ttg negara Timur Tengah, harga petrol akan fluctuate.

Namun, sebagai salah sebuah pengeluar minyak dan petrol, adakah justified untuk kita turut sama terkena tempias konspirasi mengcontrol harga minyak yang sedang diperkotak katek kan oleh kuasa2 besar dan kuasa zionis? adakah kita patut rasa bersyukur bahawa kerajaan kita terlalu prihatin terhadap rakyat sehingga sanggup memberikan subsidi sebanyak RM 625 per car setahun?yang mana jika kita bahagikan per month, kita hanya mendapat RM 52 sebulan iaitu RM 13 seminggu? harga minyak ialah RM 2.70 se liter, dan dengan RM13 kite hanya dapat 4 liter minyak..ke mana kite hendak pergi dengan 4 liter minyak seminggu?sampaikah kite ke destinasi kita?kerajaan kita yang sangat2 prihatin telah sekali membuat satu JANJI kepada rakyat bahawa no matter what happened, petrol price will not go up in August!(t&L(tunggu dan lihat)...

terdapat satu email yang pernah saya terima yang dengan begitu detailnya menggambarkan perbelanjaan bulanan satu family middle income di malaysia. dengan bergaji RM 3500 sebulan, satu keluarga yang merangkumi ayah, ibu dan 2 anak tidak mampu untuk hidup di ibu kota..dengan kenaikan harga minyak keluarga ini kemungkinan kena makan maggi untuk satu minggu..makan di luar jauh sekali, pergi bercuti is out of the question! advice = don't marry too soon if ur gaji is around that area UNLESS ur parents are bloddy rich or knows 'someone'!!

so, we come back to the pic i posted..the relevance of having the peaceful rally was not so much of being a die hard DSAI fan or supporter BUT the fact that i cant afford RM 2.70 per liter for petrol!!i am not a member of any political party nor am i pro government but don't mistake me for a backbencher!i have my views and i don't think i can fathom the fact that ive been brought up a certain way and was taught natural justice, equality, i read LAW for God's sake, and i AM a muslim. so if i see something wrong there is NO way i can say that it is RIGHT! i dun think its fair for the media to pose that the rally went haywire and there was rioting and all when i can say for a fact that it was as peaceful as peaceful can be! i respect the MB's decision to compromise with the police to have the rally in the stadium! and all i can say bout the "act" that performed at the rally, u got what u deserved!(the very ethics of a performer is?is that u read n know ur crowd NOT have a couldnt careless attitude and do as you please..maybe u were 'fed' in some way (who knows?) ;p )

all i can say to my parents is this, i'm not trying to disobey u in way..i'm not trying to prove that i'm capable or that i'm right (as for a person's character, u can expect me to speak up for him, do u?) i just feel that if i see or feel that my rights or anyone's right is being violated, i would not just turn away and say mind my own business.

ive studied history, i've seen what has happened at out neighbouring country..i do not expect myself to condone or act the same way..i would never want to see my country gone to ruins, i do not want to be part of a riot or civil war or political turmoil..i would do the best i can prevent that..what everyone wants is for a just, peaceful country. no issue of feeling oppressed, no issue of injustice, no issue of famine and poverty, no issue of the lack of necessity of livelihood! we are a capable nation, we are able to prevent this and find solutions to this, y cant we? y are there still malaysian who cant afford to go to school?y are our children not fed..how cme a family has to sleep in the darkness coz there is no electricity, how come their roof keep falling apart, how come they cant have nasi lemak..these are day to day basics and there are malaysians who are deprived of this!

the question is always what can anybody do?if u let somebody try meb there will be different results..the thg is from 1955 the same 'people' is doing the job..are we, malaysians really that terrified of change or are we being "fed" to feel that we cant have change coz change would be directing ourselves from the norms and we cant have that!!

to one person i say this, to ask someone to swear holding the Quran would mean that you yourself would then be subjected to do the same!!(not that i agree with the notion that religion should be used as a tool just to try to impress people that u might be right!)
