It doesn’t matter what some politicians are saying, the people are feeling the impact of the economy slowdown nowadays. From what I hear, things will be much worse come next year.

I am feeling the impact of the economy slowdown too. So much that I have to resort to stealing. I stole RM8 from some foreign workers today. Yup, you read that correctly. RM8. They say if you want to steal, steal big. I guess I am not such a good listener.

I know stealing is wrong. I did not want to steal either but I was left with no other choices. The prices of food and other necessities have raised so much in the past months.

They said the global oil price was high that is why they had to raise the price of petrol. It was a 78 cents raise, mind you. Then, they raised the electricity tariffs claiming that petrol was needed to generate electricity. Either that or I read wrongly.

Now that the global oil price has dropped so much — even much less than one year ago — all these people could do is to tell you they will stop subsidizing the petrol. I am fine with that but these people are taking us as if we are a bunch of idiots.

Some people suspect that what we are currently paying is more than the actual price of petrol. That means we are actually “subsidizing” back the government. That is not the perfect word to describe it though. Should I say that the government is STEALING from us instead?

The other day, there was this guy who said that the extra income generated could be used for this and that. What utter bullshit. Dear sir, thank you very much for your offer but I think I had rather manage my own finance myself.

The price for food has not dropped much (if any) even though the price of petrol has been reduced. The people are blaming the government. The government is blaming the restaurant and hawkers.

You know, that is why I hated some adults when I was a kid. They ask you not to do something but they end up doing it themselves. Or, they ask you to do something but they never do it themselves.

Hello! You do not want to reduce the price of petrol any further to earn extra. The F&B people do not want to reduce their prices to earn extra. What is the blardee difference?

Back to my original topic — I stole RM8 from some foreign workers today. Do not worry. I did not end up being a snatch thief. Especially not after my friend whom became victim to a snatch thief just weeks ago.

It was time to bring my girlfriend’s car for a wash. Usually, I would send it for a snow wash and vacuum at the cost of RM8. Today, I decided to do it myself. That saved me RM8 but unfortunately, some foreign workers will lose RM8. Sorry mates, the economy is bad.
