Malaysia fuel hike - a bright side of negatives

Those in Malaysia all know that the price has taken a giant leap for the sky, and the people are not happy.
Who would not be!
Forking over more of their own hard earn cash to just commute to and fro from work and home,god knows whats in plan for the weekend.

Husband: O dear, honey looks like we have to cancel our trip to visit your parents...

Just a few weeks ago, news of rice price was to go up and did go up a week ago. In todays eNEWS this caught my eye's:

All the negatives .... "FUEL PRICE HIKE"....and close to the bottom
"GOOD NEWS: FRAGRANT, GLUTINOUS RICE TO BE CHEAPER"
continued with FUEL PRICE HIKE, FUEL PRICE HIKE.

I stater to laugh out loud during a workshop that I was in at that time. Well I guess it is good to look at the brighter side when things are looking down...but this its just redundant... so many negative and one positive, 7:1. Whats worse is that all the negatives are direct results of the recent fuel price hike.

In another eNEWS site I was reading the STAR online...
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/6/6/nation/21476472&sec=nation

All the negatives about what are and could be the direct result of the fuel price hike, and at the end of the article... a note that states that road tax prices could be reduces...could be...

Father: Son, car fuel has gone up so high, you might have to start using the school buses
Son: But DAD! I read that fee for buses has also increased and that they may stop their services
Father: ........

Now every time I go to the fuel station I will be looking at the fuel gauge like this....

Goes to show that... no matter how bad/negative/dreadful things may seem currently, there's always a small light of hope for all of us, although just a flicker.

So......

Start going into some religion, people!! The end is nigh!! The world will be cleansed and all that is evil shall be punished!! Run and pray, my fellow brethren!
