In the mix of political tussles and mob demagogies that were very tumultuous and enigmatic, I spent the past few weeks enjoying the burlesque about the diminution of national's pump price that has been theatrically discussed. By golly, you can see two fighting cocks (Soo Kuan vs Guan Eng) are bickering before close encounter over a bowl of missing rice in the mean time.
Negative politicians all the while talk about subsidies or else using golden finger for delusion as if it would be a short-term solution to high oil prices, but that simply wouldn’t be the case at all. The dull and disingenuous politicians are selling the sizzle and not the satay. They made you high by verbal guarantee but let you suffered at the end from inflation.
The crescendo in the last movement led to just an orate of Badawi yesterday that declining world crude oil price gave good hope for the government to reduce pump prices. This hope will not very sure be fulfilled in line with a so called "floating price mechanism" for petrol proposed to be implemented this Sept 1.
I'm not a pessimist but I just can't believe the norm of "tunggu tenggoh" (wait & see) attitude, the frequent applicable golden rule of the government of which is basically finished in a state of ambiguity.
Shall the pump price then be lowered?
