Government just announced new price for fuel on last Friday around 9 PM. I left my office around 5 pm and decided that I would filled my tank full although I just filled about two days before. Well, the difference may be not so much, but hey... I am an accountant , and I am an economist (I could not say that actually ;-) ), so I went to the fuel station and filled my tank full.
Luckily the fuel station was not full and I still could enjoy and not in the long line...if I went there an hour after, pretty sure that fuel station would be fulled with people who want to fill their tank also.
That was not the morale of this story of course, but I want to say, I don't believe how come Government decided to increase the fuel price with this current condition, do they calculate the multiplier effect for this decision?. I am sure they do, but I am pretty sure they don't care for damp pooor people who will get the direct impact of this increase. I just don't believe...and I am sad.
I arrived at home, stretching a little bit to give my body recover after one a half hour in the street and driving alone. I opened my notebook and start opening excel, and recalculate everything for my spending, I feel a little bit relief that I still can afford driving my car to the office and just need a little adjustment. I am lucky...Thanks God.
But I just cannot imagine for people who get paid within UMR, can they still afford to buy food? paying school fee for their kid, and for basic thing??... God, Could You please give them strength more than before to face this life that getting harder and harder.....Amin....
