RM500 for fuel a month

Thanks to our beloved government for raising fuel prices and cutting down subsidization. I now have to spend RM18 a day on fuel to work. This does not include toll charges of RM1.30 per way, which amounts to RM2.60 a day. Public transportation is not cheap and totally inconvinient too :(

Everytime a new road is built, tolls are in place and we are forced to pay whenever we use it. Driving around the country for vacation is no longer cheap but terribly expensive with petrol at RM1.92 a litre plus mad crazy toll charges. Why do we need to pay tolls when we pay for our road tax. Where does all the money go? KL roads are filled with pot holes all over but they are not fixed until it gets really bad. In Singapore, a shop selling absorbers might go bankcrupt but in Malaysia, the shop might be making big bucks thanks to our road condition.

I really don't understand what the government is doing and is rather unfortunate that this is the best they believe they can do.
