typical malaysians??

most of the people are now aware that fuel price in malaysia has being increase by 40% from RM1.79 to RM2.00 per liter overnight. whats worst is that fuel subsidy will be abolish by the august this year. nevertheless, despite multiple hints and warning from the government that they 'cannot' prevent this from happening, the rakyat are still angry with the decision. being a malaysian and almost up to date on happenings there.. [stressed on the word 'almost'], lets predict what will happen in the next few months.
  • a royal commissioner will be set up to investigate the missing money from the fuel subsidies
  • protest from so-call 'non-political' bodies, NGO's
  • increase in price of teh-tarik.. from RM1.50 to 3.50, reason given from sellers saying, increase price of fuel, causes increase price in tea leaves.
  • increase price in meals from RM5.00 per meal to RM15.00 per meal,
  • increase price in almost everything due to so call 'ripple effect' from the fuel cost
  • opposition party leader, taking this as a opportunity to topple the government
  • people going out to the streets to protest
  • people signing memorandum and march to the palace and hand it to the king
  • police sprays people with water cannons.... (might not happen, police force need to save petrol to escort the big-shorts to airports)
  • appearance of many youtube clips singing how bad is the ruling government
  • fishermen stranded at the jetty as they cant afford the new price of diesel, causing people to eat canned fish as their protein supply.
  • government plans to have special subsidies for 'special-needed' people
  • public transport increase fairs, causing a public uproar.
  • government promise to improve on public transport by puting more busses on the road
  • people start to walk and cycle all over the place, causing an increase of skin cancer reports (eek..)
  • more people die on buses as overcrowded happens and another royal commissioner is set up to investigate what exactly happen.. (due to fuel price lah... duh.. =.=)
  • blogger start attacking the government in cyberspace
  • prime minister starts his own blog... 'i-am-awake.blogspot.com' getting 2 millions hits per day.. wining chedet.com.
  • increase in prices of fans and a drop of price of air conditioning units due to increase of electicity bill.
  • [can't think of anymore...]

at the end of the day..... my bet on whats going to happen.... N-O-T-H-I-N-G

yeah... you know why?? because nothing will happen. life will goes on, there will be some complains at the coffee shop between old men and woman will exchange chats during early morning market trips.. but, nothing will happen. at least fuel price will not drop, but malaysians will just move along with their life... what say you??
