Petrol increasing another 5cent more @ 8pm

[Acemundo]

actually, they are playing musical chair la.....

 

its a cartel, everyone knows.

 

but they try to defray the attention by taking turns to increase. and of course, as in usual cartelistic market nature, the smallest player has the least reserve. so they may be slightly more likely than the others to raise prices first... cowtex is the smallest of them all now.

 

this was confirm to me again by a banker. he say banks are also cartelistic and they take turns to raise interest rates, and most of their packages are more or less the same.

In Malaysia Rumours spark off mad dash for petrol

 

Sparked by rumours that petrol stations will be closed for five days and that fuel prices will go up by another RM1, thousands of motorists rushed to petrol stations in most parts of Sabah to fill up their tanks yesterday.

 

Queues first started about 1pm, and by 4pm, there were massive jams stretching for up to three kilometres in some areas.

 

Motorists met at the Jalan Sulaman Shell station insisted that petrol pumps would not operate starting today.

 

"My boss instructed me to fill up the tank of his van.

 

"He told me that petrol stations will stop selling petrol for three days," Andy Lo said.

 

Another motorist said he received a text message from a friend who said that stations would be closed for five days.

 

Others claimed that they received SMSes and calls that the fuel price would go up by another ringgit from midnight.

 

A cashier at the petrol station said the crowd grew bigger about 2pm and many vehicle owners enquired if it was true fuel rates were going up and that station owners would stop their business for several days to protest that their commissions have not been raised.

 

"We have not heard anything from our manager. We are surprised too," the cashier said.

 

At the Esso station in the city, some motorists even filled up plastic containers with petrol.

 

The New Straits Times office here received several calls from concerned motorists, and some of its reporters were bombarded with text messages, including from Sandakan and Keningau, to find out what was going on.

 

Sabah Petroleum Dealers Association president Charles Soong when contacted said he had no idea how the rumour started.

 

"We are only stopping the use of credit cards at petrol stations under our umbrella, in line with the national Petroleum Dealers Association's directive.

 

"The national association is asking the government to meet a few more requirements, including raising our commissions to an acceptable level and if that demand is not met, we plan not to sell fuel for eight hours tomorrow.

 

"However I am sure this eight-hour protest will not materialise as the government is concerned about what is happening and will listen to our plight," Soong said.

 

In an immediate response, Shell Malaysia corporate affairs and government relations head for Sabah and Labuan, Datin Lucy Irene Yong said there was no truth to the rumours.

 

"It's not true. It is business as usual for Shell retail outlets nationwide," she said in a statement

u should rephrase to "wah Shell faster than Caltex this time round"....haha

[Tianyou83]

Please support the motion to boycott SHELL and switch to other petrol companies. This is to give them a wake up call for leading this hike.

 

Let unite SG CAR Drivers! Only with Unity then we can match this cartel!

the local oil companies are damn smart. raise price before crude futures drop. then, when the crude futures goes up ... it's time to raise again

[Gary84]

[Danwee]

This is crazy man! now diesel price was at where our 92 petrol was. But also a good time for car makers to roll out all their plans for more hybrid or water powered car.

[Pencapchew]

Hmm... how else to spread this message other then posting in forums??? Possible if we design car decals to boycott a certain petrol company and paste it on our cars??? Is it illegal in the 1st place???

Any designers out there??? Lets start spreading the boycott move and teach them a lesson...

[Tianyou83]

Singapore is an open market, dun think it is really "wrong" to boycott certain bland.

 

The worrying part is the unity of singaporeans. We r jus like the pork on the chopping board now! nid to do something man!

No wonder all these oil countries damn rich. Yesterday meet a kuwaiti friend, he say ferrari and lambo is so common there. New born baby will have a 150k usd and a new car foc from the king. Avg income earner own 4 storey villa, local r not working there and studying there, whole country run by foreign talents. Even military also comprise of FT. These countries really earn like mad from oil until they dun feel a single pinch when giving out incentives and privilege to their own ppl.
