Well, rather than lamenting, criticising or taking your anger to the street which will only end up in you being put in ISA detention center, here is my two sen of advice regarding the petrol price hike.

1. One man, one vote. Wait for your turn to exercise your right. You know what I mean.

2. For those of lower income, start adjusting to the snowball effect of higher inflation. Here are some examples of measures you can consider:

  • Eat less outside. Be self-sufficient. Plant your own vegetables.

  • Use less electricity. Follow Keng Yaik's advice.
  • Practice family planning. A small family will be easier to sustain.
  • Change to a Kancil. Cheaper tax and fuel usage.
  • Car pool.
  • Stay more at home during weekends.
  • Work extra hard. Nobody owes us a living.
  • 3. For medium-income earners, they are moving slowly but surely into lower income group. Here are some adjustments:

    • Do not burden yourself with debts eg, car and house mortgages or credit card bills. At least delay it till the right time.

  • If you think you are capable and feel there is a better opportunity elsewhere, follow your instinct. The climate here is not suitable for better brains.
  • Work extra hard. Nobody owes us a living.
  • If you do not wish to leave, then maybe once a while go to other Third World countries and you will feel we are still better off than many.
  • If you dare to take risk, buy some good shares. MAS and Proton should be a good buy. They will never die because this is a "Bolehland".
  • There is a saying, 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em'. There is a huge RM4 billion up for grabs this year. Start to socialise and make more 'valuable' friends.
  • 4. For investors and businessmen, it will depend on how they look at it. On one side of the coin, well, its time to look elsewhere but the other side will tell that there is a 'durian runtuh' this year. Why run away when you can become instant millionaire in your own soil. Anything is possible.

    5. For upper income earner, kudos to their nationalism!
