Perompak.

It is this people makes biased statements that makes me sick. This fellow, a minister whom I always thought had a higher IQ than most of the current cabinet ministers said that the government will be deemed as perompak (or robbers) if it demands that Independent Power Producers (IPPs) reduce their charge capacity. His point was obviously to protect the interest of IPPs rather than the government or for that matter the rakyat.

When the government announced the fuel hike to RM2.70/litre on 5th June , the global crude oil was at traded at NYMEX for USD135/barrel. It has since rescinded to USD118/barrel on a steady downward trend.

But then when this happens, you don't hear a lot of intellectual statements from him.

So, is the government a perompak, robbing rakyats in this case when it refuses to lower/review the fuel prices at the pumps? So, what good is our domestic trade and consumer goods is good for?

To me, this is like a new found form of TAX that the government is pocketing without many realizing it. Don't you think so?

WTF

Some people really speaks through their ass.
