THE JAR OF PANDORA HAS BEEN OPENED.

The Warong kopi asks “If the UMNO Run Federal Government (URFeG) decreases the pump price of gas below the current level of RM2.70 per liter, can it ensure that the plate of koay teow that now cost me RM3.50 rolls back to RM3.20?
The jar of Pandora has been opened. What remains within this jar is not hope but more "future financial and political shocks" for both the rakyat and URFeG.

There will be no further fuel price hikes this year -- that is the government's promise.
The price of petrol will be retained at RM2.70 per litre and diesel at RM2.58 per litre, despite the higher world price of crude oil.
Pump prices could even go below current rates if the world price drops.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said the government was sensitive to the plight of the people who would face difficulties in adjusting to higher pump prices.
