Fixing the petrol price at RM2 per litre is possible but there are implications, said Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak.“Anything is possible. It depends on how much you want to set aside for the subsidy,” he said. At the current rate, however, the subsidy was already huge, he added.
On Sunday,Anwar Ibrahim promised he would fix the petrol price at RM2 per litre if Pakatan Rakyat succeeded in forming the Government, a promise even better than his earlier one of a 50 sen petrol price cut.
“The global trend is moving towards a world market price. What he is suggesting has implications,” said Najib.
“It is another example of a populist approach,” he said

everywhere a "cluck, cluck".........
