It’s a blog, not bollocks

Suppose to get this message posted on 1 Jul, but then dun have any internet access at that time..anyway, I dunno who the heck spread this rumour, but luckily I’m not the only one got conned.

I was told in the morning that the price of petrol is gonna raise again on 1 Jul, then I juz laugh, "ha, maybe this is a rumour spreaded by one of the petrol station nearby, wants you to patronize the station…". Eventually I found that most of the petrol station out there having long queue. Looks like it’s not a rumour at all, but then…erm…luckily the petrol price has no changes on the following day.

But, why do ppl believe the rumour and head straight to the station without a second thought? obviously ppl don’t wanna pay more. but the main reason is each increment is not a small amount!! As far as I’m awared of, the last increment is 10 cents, from RM1.42 per litre to RM1.52. Before that the price is ’bout RM1.38, but that doesn’t remain too long. So it’s common that ppl don’t doubt ’bout the statement at all. here’s a comic I found quite interesting…

err…perhaps this company has a foresight that sooner or later it will create hatred among the citizens, so it’s name is denominated in such a way "PETROleum of NASty"….
