The fact is, the fuel price increment, together with the latest electricity tariff hike left most Malaysians in hot spot mood.
While some complained, some voiced their anger through new channel of communications and some remain hiatus mood, a few of us took dissatisfaction to the road, what’s more when it’s going to be done under the shadow of Petronas Twin Towers (PTT)?
Via Malaysiakini:
"The hike of the electricity tariff is very much related to the petrol hike," said Dr Hatta Ramli, spokesperson for the organiser ‘Protes’- a loose alliance to protest the fuel hike comprising opposition parties and NGOs.“The increase in electricity tariff was attributed to the fuel hike and it has since been the main reason for Tenaga Nasional Berhad to justify the power tariff hike direct or indirectly." [...]
Hatta noted that the coming Sunday, May 28, is picked because it is the third-month anniversary of the government’s announcement of the fuel hike on February 28.
"This Sunday’s protest will be the peak after the series of protests and it will also be the last. After that, we will take different approach to continue educating the people on the two issues," he added.
Are we to embrace another massive protest, again?
