malaysiakini asks Pray for CHEAP PETROL? I Suggest Better to PRAY for a GOOD Government....

I do not agree with this article from malaysiakini headed PM: Pray for lower fuel prices .

Not when Malaysia is still a net exporter of oil and our sweet crude fetches a premium compared to the lower grade that we import.

I urge all Malaysians to pray instead for good government that has to struggle to keep things in balance; from tackling rising inflation and the great divisive forces of racism that are driving our citizens apart.

A Government that upholds the rule of law and implements the findings of its own Royal Inquiries and ensures that massive losses in the Annual Auditor-General's Reports are acted upon.

Finally let us pray that any new government is not simply the same old government but with a different coating.

Let us ensure that all citizens enjoy the NEW DEAL. Think about it - with good governance we would not have to worry about oil prices as a responsible government will be able to manage the economic problems more effectively than hoping on the vagaries of the futures market.

i-say man, angus, should be straight forward to just say pray for badawi and his umno gov to collapse and be taken over by anwar and pakatan rakyat. and hey presto ... rm2.00 a litre for petrol. i blog about this too.

we all know that the this umno government is beyond redemption. look at this ahmad ismail ... revelation that umno will never change in spite of a loud voice telling them to ...

Yes...i strongly agree with you.Why should we only pray for the Cheap Petrol, God won't answer your prayer immediately, right?This is the job of the government.We should pray for the better future and also the government of this country.Another thing,if the price of the fuel goes down what about the 'REBATE'?Do i have to pray for this too?Can't wait to see what happen after this...

freddie and esma
thanks for visiting and comments.

I believe in due process before any overturning of government and quite a few also do not like the idea of cross-overs - even those who think the BN is hopeless.
