Thank you, prime minister for increasing the fuel price because I think tomorrow I have to sell off my car and buy a cheap bicycle. Lucky for those singles though, they can still take their girlfriends around on a motorbike.

As for me, I am married with a wife and three little children, how can they fit on a bike? I can't bring them jalan-jalan anymore. You and your government are also saying that you will provide a rebate of RM625 per year for the poor but I can't imagine how this is going to help.

Let me do my calculations:

RM625 / 12 months = RM52.0833 per month

RM53.0833 / 20 days (working days) = RM2.6542 per day

Dear Mr PM, my conclusion is that with RM2.65 per day, I only can get to travel 3km per day. My workplace though, is about 10km away, one way. This excludes me from going to the food stalls to buy food for my wife and children which takes another 5km to reach.

Thank you very much Mr. PM, I hope you and your government will last because I don't think my children will last until their next generation. If my children are lucky, they will go back to the estates and become rubber tappers. I hope the rubber trees are still around.

You have given me and the people of Malaysia good reasons for the fuel price hike. And I, on behalf, of the people of Malaysia thank you for that. The beautiful 40% increase in fuel price will also increase the price of other essential items like food, vegetable, fish, chicken, etc.

This means my wife and I can start on our diets now. We once used to dream that we can become members of Fitness Second but now that won’t be necessary.

I am a very positive thinker; I thank you for increasing the fuel price because my three little children will eat less and won't grow up fat like their father.

Mr PM, from your picture in the newspapers, I think you have put on weight. Please take care of your cholesterol level. I don't want you to be like our previous PM who has gone through three to four bypasses.

Dear Mr PM,

I also would like to congratulate you for not winning a two-thirds majority in the last general election. Haven't you and your government learned a lesson? Why did you lose? What happened to the post mortem?

Now I know what's the reason that ex-PM wants you to step down. Now I know what's the reason the people of Malaysia want you to step down.

The increase of RM0.78 per liter is a shock to all of us Malaysians. Luckily the real tsunami did not hit us like it hit the other countries or else this would have been the second tsunami for us.
