Wellllllll, people have been saying that the petrol prices are gonna go up as much at RM4 per liter in August, i mean WTF seriously. We have been paying for everything and the government still raises these prices. Frankly i dont see why they have to, are we cheating them of taxes? Or we’re stealing food or petrol from their tankers aka Pirate style?
We’ll soon be riding bicycles to work and be allowed to give excuses as “Im late cause its a 2-3 hour cycle from my house”. I’ve been hearing about the government saying their gonna lower the petrol price once things settled since wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *yawn* yyyyyyyyyyyyy back, yet we’re still paying the same price without any reduction. Lets not get me started on the Toll prices.
LDP saying their not gaining enough to cover up? Government subsidizing by paying for half of the original toll cost?? I say Bullshit, cause i dont see any prove that the toll owners can say to back up their claim. Opposition says to release the yearly “what-ever-you-call-it” but yet, they refuse, cause in obvious fact, their just talking bull and want more money to sleep in.
Ok, lets say, a single toll booth costs roughly RM200k, and we estimate around lets say 40 tol booths?
Time to do maths.
200,000 x 40 = 8,000,000.
And we pay roughly RM1.6 each time you cross the toll, so we’ll estimate roughly 50k of cars goes past the toll, to and fro. Cause the LDP toll is used by alot of people, to go to Subang or Damansara.
1.60 x (50,000 x 2) = 160,000 Per Day.
1.60 x (20,000 x 2) = 64,000 Per Day on Saturdays and Sundays cause there’s no school.
Soooo, 8mil project can be recovered roughly around 40 – 50ish days?
8,000,000 / 160,000 = 50 Days.
So, how can the bloody toll be losing income? Doesnt make sense. And lets not forget a year has roughly 365 days.
365 x 160000 = 58,400,000 Per Year.
Minus lets say 10,000,000 for maintenance and stuff. Thats like 48,400,000 extra income. And minus the 8,000,000 cost to build the toll, 40,400,000.
So how can they be losing money, could the government be so blind to tell us that their losing money and are subsidizing by the billions?
Well, i dont wanna go into detail, it might get messy if i get caught for talking about this but its something for you people to think about. Hope they issue a warning to me if im breaking any laws or something. Dont wanna spend time in the slammer for posting about this but its been a topic of discussion for quite sometime though.
Post in the comments on what you think should be done, or how to solve this. Do you think the government is doing the right thing or do you believe this is all made up so that we pay more cash and they relax.
