Fuel Shortage

Something came to my mind that the current fuel shortage saga is another step by someone trying to hike the fuel price.

Never in my remembered time when a petrol station can run out of fuel during festive season and period. If still fresh in mind we knew our petrol price just dropped a pitiful 10 cents per litre, which some petrol station claimed hampering their income because of the price drop.

Few days later they claimed there's a fuel shortage, insufficient fuel supply compare to demand etc. All these are merely to try hiking the fuel price back up to high level, and I'm sure all these petrol companies do know what's the reserve level, and what's the incoming supply for the foreseeble time ahead.

So to claim fuel shortage especially during this Raya season is to try create havoc among community, and from there they will be able to hike the fuel price up, in order to cut their losses, or worse to increase their profit. People have to use petrol so long they are using vehicles. So when shortage, everyone will wants to ensure enough supply for the Raya season.

It's just a trick and I'm quite sure this is with the cooperation, knowledge and approval of government and petrol station association to do so.
