This is nothing more than a desperate move by UMNO/BN to garner support for its candidate in the Permatang Pauh by-election. How this move can really translate into votes is left to be seen.
Btw. will the price of goods,food and transport will be lowered too? Bet you this will never happen. Once prices are up it will never come down.
Pat Lah should thanks Anwar for lowering fuel price, but,Pat Lah,you only slash price by 15 cents,while Anwar promise 50 cents reduction.........
cheers.
