From the Star – Govt may be pressured to review prices of petrol


From the Star, dateline 2009-10-23:

Crude oil prices up 15% since start of October

PETALING JAYA: Rising crude oil prices in the international market may up the pressure on the Government to review local pump prices to rein in the country’s huge fuel subsidy bill.

Crude oil yesterday retreated from a high of US$82 per barrel hit in New York overnight, but remained above the US$80 mark during Asian trading hours yesterday.

At the current level, crude oil had surged 15% since the start of October and more than doubled from a low of US$34 per barrel in March.

…

And just in time for the next general elections.

    Mr. Aviation
    Read this book. ‘What color is your parachutte’. Then think and re-think again if you want to join O&G.
