WHEN THE EMOTION OF ANGER OVERTAKES THE RATIONALITY OF MIND.

The Warong kopi has a friend who works with some 750 employees in a semi urban setting. 700 are Malays and about 450 have a net “take home” income of RM800. Many are married with 4 or 5 mouths to feed. Their primary mode of transport is by motor cycles and some take a daily two way journey of over 80 kilometers to “cari rezeki”.
With the unconscionable increase in the price of fuel many have expressed a real concern on their ability to make ends meet on a daily basis. Simply put they are restless and are angry that URFeG has been indifferent to their daily struggles.
The Warong kopi fears the day when the emotion of anger overtakes the rationality of mind.
