Printing U.S Dollar Dollar Dollar, Changes in prices are not dependent on fuel costs alone. There are hidden costs of bribery, wastage's, under table money etc. All of these are in top of the cost of compliance, staffing, etc. Gov should know with ill fated experience in trying to recreate a low yat for Malays only. Market forces will determine the equilibrium. But importantly people must be adequately compensated equitably and fairly.

Just Don't pass the buck to the vendors. Its gov duty to enforce the law. If you can go after them for increasing the prices, you can also do the same to them to reduce prices.

Whose responsibility to go aftter those profiteers who has refused to reduce the price of goods when fuel price goes down? What is the bloated civil servants doing? For GOD sake, go after them, not only after CMCO offenders. Talk is cheap!

When fuel prices down,minister's salary and allowances also never reduce.

If fuel prices down, you also reduce your salary because Petronas will be making less profits for the country, then you can tell the businesses to reduce their price, because you are standing at a higher moral ground.

If you are as rich as Tengku Adnan, who treats 2 Million ringgit as pocket money, then you actually should not draw any salary, just, treat the minister post as national service.

By the way, why rich ministers still draw salary, do they really need the salary like Rakyat, to put food on table?

Or, big ministers with big salaries, so that they can put their left and right foot on their office table, goyang kaki happily?

What about our cooking gas? Fuel price has gone down every week for so many months! How come the cooking gas price still the same?..........even my monthly water bill used to be around RM25 per month. For May it is RM62 despite not using the usual amount of water during the lockdown period. Will govquestion the water works about this?

Commonsense tells us when capacity on a carrier is halved, every variable expenditure needs to be doubled to cater for the same passenger volume.

Which means you'll need to halve the fuel price and add another carrier plus additional crew & maintenance to run the same service at the same cost.

Unless your government is giving the ferry company a free fleet of ferries and also pay for the additional ferry workers, just the halving of fuel price will not be sufficient to offset those losses caused by your new covid19 social distancing rules.

Only now you know? When did price ever came down? Wait till the fuel price go up again. It's going to be an excuse of rising another price increase.

More Than 1,000 Ordered To Turn Back By The Police Because They Wanted To Balik Kampung

Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri said the figure has doubled on 17 May as 1,248 were ordered to turn back by authorities.

Around 508 vehicles were ordered to turn back after attempting to cross state lines to balik kampung, according to Senior Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Those vehicles were among 238,500 stopped across the country on Day 4 of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO).

Ismail said that authorities have already stationed roadblocks and authorities have advised as well as warned the public, besides taking other actions such as ordering them to turn back.

He also said that the government has authorised the police to start issuing compounds beginning tomorrow to those caught flouting the CMCO......

Do we hear that hundreds of thousands approved already ? Why bother with the five hundred? It is obvious there is no way the authorities can verify the truth of each application. It's stupidity and absurd to expect the people will tell the truth. After all politicians all tell lies. The people also learn a way to get around it. Expect the build up of a time bomb.

DatoSeriJohnnyWalker ,"Ismail said the government have also authorised police to start issuing compounds beginning tomorrow to those caught flouting the conditional MCO."
Why begin enforcement actions tomorrow when you have already arrested and arraigned others in court with handcuffs much earlier on?
How many levels of standards are you applying?
How many varieties of rule of law?
What are your criteria?
Why do you think "238,500 vehicles (have been) stopped at 146 roadblocks across the country on Day 4 (alone) of the conditional movement control order period"?
Is it because they think they are entitled to receiving favourable treatment?
That's only Day 4.
If there were 4 persons in each vehicle on average, that translates to almost a million people contravening the CMCO.
How many vehicles in total have made attempts to breach without consequences?
Is there rule of law for all?

Myanmar Migrants Deported from Malaysia Test Positive for COVID-19

YANGON—Myanmar has reported six more cases of COVID-19 since Saturday, five of which are Myanmar migrants who recently returned from Malaysia.

Last Monday, nearly 400 undocumented Myanmar migrant workers were deported by the Malaysia government on two chartered flights after being detained at immigration detention camps across the country.

U Aung Zaw Min, labor attaché at the Myanmar Embassy in Kuala Lumpur, told The Irrawaddy that the workers were stranded in the detention centers for several months due to the suspension of flights and lockdown under the Malaysian government’s Movement Control Order, issued on March 18 to control the spread of COVID-19.

On Saturday, the Myanmar Ministry of Health and Sports (MOHS) announced that one of the returnees, a 32-year-old man from Thantlang Township in Chin State, tested positive for COVID-19. The patient had already been placed in quarantine upon his return, according to MOHS and lawmakers.

On Monday, MOHS reported that three more returnees tested positive for COVID-19, two from Karen State and one from Tanintharyi Region.

U Saw Bo Bo Wai Maung, the Karen State social affairs minister, told The Irrawaddy on Monday that a total of 16 of the returned migrant workers are from Karen State and all are in quarantine centers in Hpa-An, separated from returnees from Thailand and other patients.

“We had to test them quickly as one of the returnees from Chin State tested positive for COVID-19. Here, two out of a total of 16 returnees from Malaysia tested positive for the virus and the others are free of the virus,” said U Saw Bo Bo Wai Maung.

He also said that seven volunteers who are working at the quarantine centers will be tested for COVID-19, along with a driver and a bus conductor who drove the migrant returnees from the Yangon Airport to Karen State.

U Kyaw Min, Tahnintharyi’s immigration and human resources minister, told The Irrawaddy on Monday there are 21 migrant returnees in his region, one of whom tested positive for the coronavirus.

“The patient is now isolated at the Dawei Hospital and he is in good health,” said U Kyaw Min.

One returnee from Yangon’s Pazundaung Township, a 41-year-old man, has also tested positive for COVID-19.

U Khin Maung Win, the Yangon regional lawmaker from Pazundaung, told The Irrawaddy that the patient arrived in Yangon from Malaysia on May 8 on a repatriation flight and tested positive for COVID-19 while isolated in a quarantine center in Thingangyun Township.

On Sunday, MOHS reported that a 57-year-old man from Yangon’s Mayangone Township tested positive for COVID-19 despite having no travel history or history of contact with a COVID-19 patient.

Since April 30, Myanmar has been organizing repatriation flights to bring nationals home who are stranded abroad due to suspensions of flights and lockdowns.

As of Monday, the government has brought home 2,072 Myanmar nationals from more than 10 countries, including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, the UAE, the UK, the US, Italy, the Philippines and Vietnam.

Myanmar has reported a total of 187 COVID-19 cases, inducing six deaths and 97 recoveries.

It is inhumane to catch and lock them in many. Then deport them back and wash your hands. It is highly possible officers who handle them will get infected too. And now happily balik kampong to big group of families to infect all. Soon outbreak again and mco no2 rise. Well done.....

The new minister announcement that all immigrants (legal or illegal) to come forward for the test as no actions will be taken against them...........
BUT
went against their political announcement
than
went on an INHUMANE high handed force rounding up of all foreigners........

PN must be fully responsible for the health conditions of all rounded up foreigners that are housed in a very inhumane situation.........

These people are not animals unlike the animals that rounded them up...........
