Shahrir: New fuel subsidy scheme only in August - YESTERDAY

KUALA LUMPUR: A new fuel subsidy scheme will be fully implemented only in August and today’s announcement is only one of the steps in the revamp, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said.
“Any announcement by the Prime Minister (today) should be seen as a part of the implementation and not the final step,” he told a press conference after opening the 1st Malaysian Construction Summit 2008 at the Putra World Trade Centre here yesterday.
He said a full subsidy system could not be immediately decided on now, as the Finance Ministry was still evaluating proposals.
Shahrir said he did not think his statements contradicted those made by the Prime Minister.
On Monday, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the Cabinet would decide today on a new fuel subsidy scheme and that it would be implemented immediately to prevent speculation.
Shahrir said the subsidy revamp could result in petrol pumps selling fuel at market prices.
However, he said it was impossible to have a price increase without some way of helping the lower income groups.
“The idea ultimately is to increase the pump prices according to the market prices. At the same time, we need to deliver subsidy to Malaysians,” he said.
Shahrir said that there must be a system to the subsidy mechanism, which would either be in the form of cash income subsidies or a quota system effected through the MyKad or car registration number.

Dear Malaysians, Does this means that after this time's increase, the next increase will be the taking off of the subsidy of fuel? Which ultimately means that we will have to pay according to market prices? Do we still remember that we are still an oil producing nation? What a shame for a oil producing nation to have fuel problems. If you cant even feed your own consumption, WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF EXPORTING FUEL?!! For some morons to earn more profits at the cost of all the rakyats? Is the the true story behind the scrapping of the subsidy? Compare us with Brunei, the nearest oil producing neighbour to us. How much is their fuel price? How come they can sustain that price, or even by increasing a bit but not us?

Abdullah Ahmad Badawi aka PAK Lah, what have you did to your people? have you have full control of your nation?Listening to some stupid baseless advise and increase without investigating is really a GRAVE mistake.!

My dear friends, in view of global warming and SKY ROCKETING fuel price, please keep your cars at home and start to walk or cycle now... THose rebates by the government are merely jokes.! Its merely less than 5% or ur increased annual fuel consumption caused by this stupid increase.! Walk and CYCLE! DON DRIVE.!
Next scenario, PANIC BUYING OF SUGAR, FLOUR, FOODSTUFFS... Our rice stockpile is also very critical. We can easily run out of food and increased food prices as a result of this increase. So, stock up your kitchen!...


So, here are some few shots i took during the fuel panic buying.! Really LONG queue.! Practically, this is happening throughout MALAYSIA!
