The announcement of
the increase of RM 0.20 per liter for R0N95 and diesel infuriated many citizens
who are already facing rising costs of living. The announcement that there will
be no changes for R0N97 brought little respite. However, many have chosen to
look at the announcement from distorted and warped lens. Indeed, the
seriousness of the situation is a matter of perception.
With such a scenario
that affects everyone, some political leaders have chosen to politicize the
issue instead of providing a true and accurate picture of what is truly
happening, not just in our country, but also in the world. Our government is sincere in its Endeavour to
prioritize the citizens’ welfare but unscrupulous leaders are joining the cause
with populist views for political mileage.
