As of today the new price for petrol Ron 97 is RM2.45 , Ron92 is RM2.30 and diesel RM2.40. But the price of goods outside remains the same. This show reducing fuel price don't work in tandem with price of goods. Why... do you know our country imported raw material including wheat's, flour, sugar, rice, petroleum product etc via ship..yes using sea passage.
Our sugar comes from Australia,Thailand or South Africa. And the wheat's..for human consumption and animal consumption are mostly from Australia.
Those days...about 10 years ago..the charter rate for a bulk carrier vessel are between USD6000.00 - USD10,000 per day.Now the charter rate are very expensive USD30,000 min per day. With the increase of world crude oil...it does not give a single dent to shipping industry as all the charges will be forward to the charterer then pass on to the public. Before our government increase the fuel price..the price of essential goods already increase. Our salary remains the same..thats is sad!
