GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT YOU GIVE THE CRONIES! Slash fuel prices or we march - Rafizi warns Putrajaya

KUALA LUMPUR - Pakatan Rakyat (PR) will take to the streets if the government does not bring down the price of the RON95 petrol by 30 sen per litre to an estimated RM1.90, lawmakers from the federal opposition pact said today.

PKR MP Rafizi Ramli insisted again today that the new managed float system to be adopted by Putrajaya for RON95 and diesel beginning December 1 still guarantees profits to oil companies and petrol dealers of up to 30 sen per litre.

“This is the most unfair aspect; the fact that the government will guarantee the cost, and reimburse petrol companies,” said the Pandan MP.

“If you give RM7.2 billion in guaranteed cost and reimbursements, it is only fair to give the rakyat the same,” he told reporters in Parliament, together with Seremban DAP MP Anthony Loke and Kuala Krai PAS MP Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli. -Malay Mail
