aku telah memungkiri janji :p

oh look: new gas sources emerged in aceh after the tsunami disaster. a group of people were actually digging for water, but in the end they found new gas sources. cant find the equivalent article in english, but that article is worth the read.

and talking about minyak, here is a snippet from the article in jakarta post (be patient though, page dia asyik time out je kalau nak load). the author was talking about how oil is more like a curse rather than a blessing to indonesia. polically-wise, financially-wise, etc etc. but what's interesting is:

"The government of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono continues to subsidize the consumption of domestic fuel, which will easily cost the government more than Rp 120 trillion ($12 billion = RM 45.6 billion) this year.

This is an absurd amount, which would be better spent on other more urgent and worthy causes. It is an amount that surpasses our education, health and defense budgets. It is even more absurd considering that the subsidy is enjoyed mostly by the wealthy and the middle class. It's money that we burn unnecessarily."

and malaysia punya subsidi minyak is RM 6.6 billion. and let's just pray that the subsidy goes to the correct channel :) oh and that the price of barang2 should not skyrocket tanpa sebab.

tata boys and girls

(sorry mior aku memungkiri janji utk menge post post yg relax. just had to share my view with my friends and families about the hike in prices :p )
