Oil price hike: Call for improvement in public transport service


Dateline 2013-09-02, The Malay Mail (there’s a blast from the past):

The government should take drastic action to improve public transport service to reduce the burden of consumers with the increase in the price of RON95 and diesel, effective midnight tonight.

Malaysian Muslim Consumers Association (PPIM) secretary-general, Datuk Dr Maamor Osman, said several mechanisms could help to lighter consumers’ burden as a result of the oil price increase.

“We understand that the government’s move is to reduce subsidy, but in this slow economic situation, with no increase in income, it will burden the low income earners.
