Today when I was talking to Gayle, a friend of mine in Australia, on MSN Messenger, I had to explain why I was so pissed off by the wonton mee price increase. Oh and the so-called friend who started his Diamond Water venture.
It’s not like I cannot afford it, but I am just pissed for being ripped off.
For example, the government is increasing the petrol price and there’s no sign that transportation price (meaning personal transport like car) will ever go down. We are basically paying double for cars, especially those foreign brand like Honda, Toyota, and etc. Hell, the Proton range of cars do not value at their current selling price, and that’s why Proton is making shitload of money (and its a wonder how they can fuck up so bad. That’s another story so I’ll just stop here for this…)
Example: Honda Civic in Malaysia is selling for RM110K (or USD29,730), and the same model with higher spec selling in US? A cool USD 14,560. I rest my case.
If the government wants to remove all the petrol subsidy, they are welcome to do so. I don’t mind that, but give us some breathing room. Remove the stupid tax on automotive and remove the protection for Proton. Give us a cheaper car.
The wonton mee case? Simple. After all the price increase, there’s no real price increase for one bowl of wonton mee. The shop owner simply take advantage of the current situation and increase the price for more profit.
Oh! About my friend who is doing Diamond Water? I don’t mind to support him or anything like that because he used to be a close friend of mine. I even made the effort to help out when he was in a tough situation. But then, I was pissed because I worked my ass off to get whatever I have today and he is hitching a free ride and rip me off? Now that’s the reason why I was pissed. But the more accurate description would be “disappointed”.
There are a lot of people who wants to hitch a free ride and they hope to reach success faster than everyone. They do not know what is hardwork and they do not know what is true friends. I despise that kind of people, and I rest my case here.
I have more important thing to do in life than to worry about these kind of people.
