Oil Prices Up

Petrol prices soar by 10 sen! I got a shock when I saw RM1.62 per litre glaring at me from the digital display at the petrol pump. No one sent any SMS this time to alert about the hike, darned. However, we still have one of the lowest petrol prices in the region. The Gov. declares petrol subsidies of over RM6 billion. Thank you for that.

Come to think of it, instead of gritting our teeth over the increase, we should be thinking of effective ways of reducing petrol dependancy. It is high time we actually make Hydrogen fueled engines available. Since we are into making us into a developed nation, let's get the research going and introduce a new automotive industry. Get the ASEAN to collaborate. What nation wouldn't want a piece of the pie? It looks delicious..

Child Psycology:
A child looks at two cabbages and asks his father what they are. He says,"This one is a round cabbage, and that is a Chinese cabbage. Can you tell me the difference between the two?". The child replies,"Well, one is round and the other one is Chinese.". Father laughs and says,"Very good!".

The kid isn't entirely wrong. It is undoubtedly true that one is round and the other originated from China. Even if the child is correct, he has to be told the meaning of what he said plus the correct contextual meaning of the situation. Children have to be taught the correct things from young even if we think that they may not understand us. You'd be pleasantly surprise that children pick up what we say and approve fast enough to carry it through their lives. Go easy on the jokes as they may think that some of them are for real and understand things the wrong way. Admire but do not take child-like faith for granted.

I agree that we need the explanation from both parties before any action is to be taken. This is a little too brash for such an action. However, there must be a way to get A.P. to explain about Sky Kingdom as it is already made public. And the authotities have to listen first.

However, there are reports that A.P. claims to be God. This is the problem.
