Ramadan, Price Hike and People
2009-08-30 10:36:00 Despite different announcements by the government the prices of commodities keep rising all the time. Unchecked price hike is particularly visible at three occasions; before and during Ramadan, before and after annual budget and in between whenever prices of Petrol go up.All nation and economies around the world respect their national and religious festive celebrations and reduce prices, announce clearance sales and help every one to make purchases.

DoT Is Mulling A Significant Hike In 3G Auction Prices
2009-06-15 07:21:00 The ministry of communications in a bid to fasten things on 3G front may hike the reserve auction price for pan-India 3G spectrum. This recommendation is currently mooted by DoT and would soon be forwarded to cabinet ministry. Till date current 3G policy envises reserved price to be set at Rs 2,020 crore and accommodation of five players per circle. The new price is being pegged at Rs 3,540 crore by DoT also looking at earlier pricing of a minimum Rs 4,040 crores by the finance ministry. This may further wash down the expectation of cheaper 3G services in India. The department would also earn significant revenues by increasing total number of 3G players from the current five to about seven to eight players per circle. This would indeed fulfill government revenue target of Rs 40,000 crore from these auctions alone and avoid any fresh wave of troubles from finance ministry. The hike in prices is also due to the opposition which telecom minister A.Raja earlier faced owing to cheap auc...

A crazy Malay bum on PROTES?s July 12th anti-fuel hike rally
2008-06-06 10:00:00 Read from MalaysiaKini yesterday that PROTES is calling upon Malaysians to take part in another massive public rally targeted to be bigger than the infamous BERSIH mass rally held last year. This new mass rally is planned to take place on the 12th of July 2008.Hmm? Do what you want to do PROTES but please put things in perspective before going any further. Fuel price hikes are unstoppable not only in Malaysia but in other parts of the world too. It is something that we have no control whatsoever. Fuel price hikes are caused by external factors that are very much controlled and dictated by influential Masonic figures (ask Mahathir, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Anwar Ibrahim about them). Those filthy rich Arabian/Middle Eastern Sheikhs are just stage puppets and they could not do anything to help ease the problem either.Think about it, PROTES. Can you really make any difference with that planned big rally of yours?It would be better off if PROTES work closely with MTUC in their fight to ...

Oil and Gas price hike burden on people
2008-06-04 21:23:00 Today, people of India suffered major setback when they learned about price hike of Oil and Gas. Government increased the price of Petrol by Rs 5, price of Diesel by Rs 3 and price of cooking Gas by Rs 50. Already, there were rumours in market about this increase in oil and gas prices in recent times because burden of subsides was increasing very rapidly on the oil companies. If government of India has not increased prices of oil and gas today, then in future, oil companies may not have enough money left to buy crude oil from the international market. Therefore, price rise was only option left available with government of India. However, this price hike has shocked many poor and middle class people, who are already suffering from massive rise in inflation. Therefore, this burden is unacceptable to large population of India which has not seen any increase in their earning power in recent times despite increase in earnings of higher middle class and rich people. In simple words, we ca...

Fuel Prices Hike In India
2008-06-04 18:28:00 The fuel prices in India have finally been hiked by the government. After a long round of uncertainty over this issue and lots of hues and cries from public about increase in the fuel prices, the fuel suppliers in India had started cutting short the supplies of fuel in the market. Their plea was that the rising costs of fuel in the international markets were burning a hole in their reserves and even the hefty subsidy provided by the government was not enough to cover that up. The government has finally announced the price hike of INR 5 per litre of petrol, INR 3 per litre of diesel and INR 50 per LPG cylinder. This hike is expected to have a big impact on the consumers who are already struggling their way through the increasing inflation. The government has been criticized by the opposition parties for this step. This may cause an environment of political instability in India.

Petrol Price Hike in Malaysia on Immediate Basis from RM1.92 to RM2.70!!!
2008-06-04 13:27:00 I just checked my window because I heard people "honking" their car and it is uneasy. My house is located about 500m from the road and about 500m from a petrol station. I have the road view from my apartment. When looking around, there is road jam about 1km and it is still jam. This is awkward as not everyday like this. Not because of peak time as 7.30pm is off duty hours.I just received a call from my brother saying that the petrol hike would hit after 12 midnight today. I got shocked as there were news about it saying that the increase will be on August 2008. It was so sudden and there is no alert.I just checked Malaysiakini and double confirm that the price hike is confirmed. It is 40.6% price hike in petrol, from RM1.92/liter to RM2.70/liter. Diesel from RM1.58/liter to RM2.58/liter. The jam is about 1 km from petrol station and I'm sure the crowd won't less until 12 midnight today.

Indonesian president defends fuel price hike
2008-05-26 09:06:00 Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday defended his unpopular fuel price hike as necessary to avoid an economic meltdown similar to the 1997 financial crisis.Yudhoyono told a forum of regional investors the government had to act to save the budget from collapsing under the weight of runaway subsidy bills linked to soaring global oil prices."The decision on Friday to further reduce oil subsidies was the best, necessary and most responsible solution to save our national economy from crumbling and protect our people from harm," he said."The alternative would be a possible financial and economic crash similar to that of 1997 and the real loser here would be our own people."Analysts applauded the price rise, saying it was vital to prevent a deficit blowout and demonstrated the government's fiscal responsibility despite the threat of protests leading up to general elections in April.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com-
