KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi on Wednesday announced price hikes for petrol, diesel and electricity.
He said the new price for petrol is RM2.70 a litre, effective midnight tonight. The price goes up by 78sen from the current RM1.92, a hike of 40%.
Abdullah also announced that the price of diesel would be increased by RM1 from RM1.58 to RM2.58.
He also said that Tenaga Nasional Bhd would be raising electricity rates by 18% for homes and 26% for business users.
The announcements are part of the new fuel subsidy plan.
Abdullah also announced a RM625 annual cash rebate per vehicle, for owners of private vehicles with engine capacities of up to 2,000cc, as well as pickup trucks and jeeps with engine capacities of up to 2,500cc.
Owners of private motorcycles with engine capacities of up to 250cc will receive RM150.
Payment will be made via Money Order upon renewal of road tax, from July 1.
For owners of private vehicles with engine capacities exceeding 2000cc, road tax will be reduced by RM200.
Owners of private motorcycles with engine capacities above 250 cc will get RM50 reduction in road tax.
Petrol price hikes up equivalent food and drinks price hikes up too. By the time, a bowl of your favorite noodle wouldn't cost RM2.50 anymore! Or your Iced Coffee at your local coffee shop won't be priced at RM1.50. :o

What am I waiting for??? I rushed to Petronas petrol station opposite my housing area, right after I ends my work at 6:00 pm. Bear in mind that PM announced to public at 5:00 pm. I reach Petronas at 6:30 pm, and it has already FULL HOUSE! :p
Beautiful sky... La la la... Long queue? Bother lah...
10 minutes later, and I'm still stucked on the same spot.
12 petrol pumps, ALL fully occupied.
I fill up my car's tank at this Petronas outlet most of the time, and I'm confident to say that THIS IS BUSIEST moment for Petronas workers! Usually there will be only 3-4 cars being filled up. But for this particular day, FUIYOR~~~ :D
Queue queue queue... Patience patience patience...Tuhan menguji kesabaran daku...
All the way from the pumps to the entrance...
Darn it! I pumped full tank last Sunday and I just used up 1 LEVEL... It's still 85% full anyway. Aiyah, don't give it a damn, I will pump till it "pukes" petrol wtf. Hahaha... What kind of language is that?
Wait wait wait...Mei-Wah, remember to breath!
La la la... I'm in front of you guys! Hehehe... :pIn the end, I managed to pump RM13.50 (that's it?) worth of petrol. And the tank was too full till it pukes out the extras. Hahaha... :D
Ya Allah, petrol price increased. What's next???

WTF, it's so unlucky when the announcement made that i was at Penang island. You know penang island la, all the petrol station is located near to each other and the roads are smaller compare to here...whenever i see traffic jam ahead I am sure that there is a petrol station. Damn Gov, they should give sometimes before the announcement. At least 2 days lo.
