Yeah, by now all petrol kiosk nationwide is experiencing long queue.

UMNO is going to rebuild its lost ground by using the extra RM56 billions it now have control of without having to account to the nation and rakyat how the funds are being used, just like what they did with NEP, only UMNO corrupted elites will benefit. Who can verify the so call cash back to those who deserve it, didn't NEP had this noble objective and what happened after 30 years? So BN government under UMNO is once again using a new ploy under the pretext of fuel subsidy to rob and cheat the rakyat. Great ploitical move, but the rakyat must take note that this is all for UMNO's political survival and for those corrupted to stay in power.

AMENDMENT - SHOULD BE RM56 BILLIONS INSTEAD OF RM56 MILLION!

Hello Sharir, we should stop all foreigners from entering Malaysia, the reason is simple, the minute any foreigners enters Malaysia they are enjoying subsidies from all front, food in restaurant were prepared using subsidied cooking oil, rice, etc and drinks are using subsidied sugar, taxis using subsidied fuel and even investing in projects like IDR are at subsidied prices as compared to countries like Singapore, so how to stop foreigners from enjoying our subsidies, totally ban all foreigners lah! Cannot understand the idiotic logic of BN/UMNO economics. The only logical explanation for removing fuel subsidy is for UMNO crooks to enlarge their coffer by RM56 million for their own selfish political motive.

If i am not wrong, the reason is our oil is sold by petronas as an entity. After which petronas as an entity pays tax royalty etc. However the petrol we use is bought by the private companies from other parties and petronas. So if the gov does not subsidise, ie they need not pay this people. Now they will pay the rakyat directly. I suggest that these subsidies is also given back to rakyaat in the form of free 100% tertiary education, free 100% health benefits for any disease including heart, kidney dialysis, cancer etc (which is presently payable by) for malaysians. Abolish road tax for motorbikes and cars below 2000cc. perhaps,then we will not feel the pinch of the increase of the petrol price. Otherwise, let pr rule.

Further, with 2 or 3 big meny genrating states in PR's hands, BN got no choice but to suck dry of every available penny from Petronas. They also know eventually the truth about toll agreement going to be known to public which would result in toll reduction. So government need to find other source for income.

Firstly - Malaysia is a net exporter of crude oil. So the government did NOT subsidize our petrol. The RM56 billion 'subsidy'

We import our petrol from the middle east. And we have to buy them in USD. Currrently at approx USD 135 per barrel .
Its due to the weakening USD and the oil cartel trade in USD.

So we buy at USD 135 p/Barrel and sell it less than USD 135.

Unless the oil is traded in other forms of exchange, this will be a continuing pattern towards USD 200 per barrel by 2010.

I seriously believe it is time to change the government.

Even after the 12th election, I still believe that BN should leads Malaysia with a more check and balance from opposition.

But they are killing themselves day by day. This petrol hike is a political suicide for BN, UMNO and PM.

I am an average Malaysia who appreciate BN for their efforts in our country despite their many shortcomings. But this price hike is really a killer for them. I still want them to be government but with this price hike, it clearly shows me that my believe is way too naive because this is seriously hopeless for this BN government.

Can you imagine with petrol increase and electricity increase, what will happen to our economy? Can you imagine the inflation rate?

Yes, we can increase petrol but did the government first do a good job by increasing our currency value to soften the impact? Did the government first consider that all Malaysians pay will increase to cushion the price hike?

Can any private sector company increase 15% of all their employee salaries within this year? Of course NOT!

And for what? To 'decrease' government subsidy? No, because the government does not pay A SINGLE CENT for any of the oil. They sell it for hefty profits. It is to increase UMNO subsidy.

It makes stupid sense to make a small amount of cash repayments to a small portion of the citizens but the cost of tolls, food, goods and services keep on escalating. I don’t know whether they are aware that not all registered owners are the actual users of the vehicle and how the repayments could go to the actual persons intended.

This way of abrupt petrol price increase would be disastrous to the nation and once the negative chain reactions (stock market crash, run away inflation, economic slowdown, corporate under-budgets, etc) happen, the nation might not recover from it for a long time.

It is haphazard decision hastily decided by a low calibre Badawi cabinet. An important decision of this nature which has a rippling effect on the whole nation show be studied by a competent team of economist, academicians and thinkers, not by shallow thinking cabinet ministers!

The present UMNO regime has hoodwinked the citizens long enough by just comparing the petrol price with selective non-oil producing countries without taking into consideration the related travelling cost and the cost of living!

Logic will tell you that a fisherman cannot have a same cost of fish as his neighbour who is a farmer!

Meanwhile, oblivious to others, UMNO will be splurging the oil revenue by spending on themselves, their cronies and on other less prioritised projects!

UMNO realised that it may be their last term in power and used the opportunity to enrich themselves as much as possible before they are kicked out by the rakyat!

Only the kampong folks may be duped by UMNO on the annual petrol rebate! The citizens have had enough of the half-truth of UMNO!

The citizens demand transparency on the accounts of Petronas and how were these revenue been used! Petronas is not “bapa punya” of UMNO – it belongs to every citizens of Malaysia!

Venezuela– RM0.16/litre
MALAYSIA– RM2.70/litre

I didn't know we produce our own petrol...

BTW, those prices above are considered highly subsidized. They can afford to provide petrol at these prices coz they have surplus for local consumption.
ie. Low volume consumption vs. vast oil reserve for world export including To Malaysia.

Their statistics not comparable to malaysia. ( population / consumption vs oil export )

Question now is how do we bring down oil prices. Its not that there's a real shortage. Oil is traded in USD.
So we buy in USD 135 per barrel and sell less ( ie subsidized ) for local consumption.

Most of these oil refiner cartels are american companies and they trade in USD.
And USD is weakening so they pay more USD per barrel.

The weakening of USD also will impose another gripping issue to the world economy. Their financial system is in real crisis and there might be a repeat of 97 economic crisis.

This is 2008, and such crisis now seems to repeat in 10 year cycle - 87 , 97.

Unless there's a change in the oil trade mechanism, the oil price will keep on increasing to USD 200 pB by 2010.

Maybe DSAI can solve this by bringing the world oil price to say, USD 80pB. He will earn a noble prize for this. I'm sure.

He did promise us to lower the fuel prices the moment he becomes PM.

Lets vote PR in the next election. According to DSAI, he should be PM by this september, just after august (duh!) - when subsidy will be fully removed. thats good timing. Malaysians will be fully angered by then and vote him for sure.

Lets vote PR. PR can solve the world's oil crisis. the world will love him. He can then become world leader like the president of the united countries of planet earth. (UCPE)

3) Subsidy if the most equitable way of redistribution the people's oil wealth given the low confidence in government's ability to spend it wisely

When "Ketuanan Melayu" is shouted, the fact is it really means "Ketuanan UMNO" which really translates to BULLSHIT MALAYS enslaving and corrupting GENUINE MALAYS, a vicious cycle unleashed by TDM who (like Mugabe) think he is the greatest ever gift to Malays.

Call me sensitive, I have a very important presentation 10am tomorrow, but just could not sleep worrying about my many economically borderline Malaysian friends with children, we do not need cyclone Nargis or any natural disasters to harm our children, we have UMNO to man made disaster it for us. Always have had a very tender spot for children.

Can anyone from Petronas confirm to us that we are selling our oil at current price or if we had already presold our oil via forward contracts to other countries such as Japan some years ago at very cheap price?

I smell a rat....

PM Ahmad Badawi and the entire UMNO cronies in recent times are constantly barking that the rising fuel cost is going to drive Malaysia into bankrupcy as the ever-increase price has cost the Malaysian government a whopping RM56B a year.

If that is the actual case, I am certain PM Badawi and the rest of his clowns has no problem in answering the following questions:

1. If the spiraling fuel price increased in recent times has affected the government's financial balance negatively, shouldn't Petronas's profit, and thus, including the royalties has some positive effect as well?

2. If profit and royalties did increase, how much was it and where have all the $$$ gone to? Shouldn't the government explain their expenditure as well as their income to the citizen?

3. Why was there never a transparent report on Petronas's income and the distribution of such income by the government?

4. Where is the statistic and facts to support the Malaysian government's claim of subsidizing the yearly mind boggling RM56B?

5. If the present government is factually facing a huge financial deficit, why are they still implement those useless mega project such as the North-South train project (to name one of the many questionable projects) which cost RM18B?

6. Yes, Malaysia is still one of the cheapest in the region but as many has posted in the site, as one of the oil-producing countries in the world, we are one of the most expensive. Please explain why and how?

Something stinks here!

Excellent analysis in this article!

What can we, the ordinary citizens of Malaysia who are unhappy do about it?

Increase our political participation i.e. not only vote and vote wisely
but also get politically active in other ways (such as
signing petitions, writing letters to the newspapers,
blogging and pointing out the misrepresentations of the mainstream media, joining progressive NGOs, monitoring the deeds or misdeeds of public officials and politicians, donating money or time to political parties, lobbying
politicians, running for political office)

Organised action by the majority can help to check the misdeeds of the minority.

The Government under Pak Lah couldnt care less for the Rakyat. They, in the Pak Lah's cabinet and all UMNO MTs are not affected by this. The rakyat are.Their baggage are already full and couldnt bother of us, the rakyat. I call this SLAVERY in Pak Lah's era. Hope he and his cronies 'doomsday' will arrive soonest possible.
