What next after fuel price reduction

Now that fuel price has been reduced. So what's next to be reduce?

Remember whenever fuel price or toll price increase, this will be a bad news for road users, but instead a good news for businesses like food & beverages, transportations and almost all things are affected.

Now that fuel price has decreased, isn't that all the relative parties must reduce their prices accordingly? If that's the case, then I would have nothing much to say when they increase their price if fuel price risen again. But it's most unlikely these bastards will do so especially hawkers. To them price will only go up, and NEVER back down! Since now fuel price reduced, they will for sure just keep quiet and sell at the current price. But when fuel price gone up again, they for sure will the jack up the price again without hesitation.

So what can the government do about this? Increasing fuel price already put many of us under enormous pressure to make a living. Now government announce the decrease of fuel price, why don't they impose or instruct these people must decrease their price too? For government it's easy to increase or decrease fuel price as they wish, but the actual damage already done back in June because the increase of petrol price is 78 cents, and now only reduced by 15 cents. Those sectors will surely say "fuel price decrease, but maintenance not" Then they will continue charging consumers at a skyhigh price.

So for me - I would rather be a smart and stingy consumer than paying those unfair price! I will still boycott those unfair tradings.
