Curbing Monopoly

What was written in the press today is outrage and unfair. The NST had unfairly written that Roti Canai actual cost is just 20 sen. Then Instant Noodle, Nasi Lemak, Chicken Rice, Teh Tarik and Fried Kuey Teow are all just below RM1.80. But the rental and cost for oil, gas, transport, time and effort (cut, blend and fry) to make the necessary ingredients is not counted. So how does one come out with the cost RM1.80? May as well close shop if cannot make money.

But wait why is no-one interested in those restaurants that are charging for a plate of nasi lemak RM10 – RM12 and it taste like shit. Some places even have 10% service charges too. Why are these places allowed to charge exorbitant prices while those in kopitam are make to look like cheats?

To me the one who stand to make the most money out from our miseries are the UMNOputras otherwise known as the ELITE ONES. They are the culprits behind our burdens. Take my old man and Mahathir as an example. Both of them stand to gain from profit derived from Rice, Flour, Cooking Oil, Sugar, Milk, Telephone, Electricity and Water sold to consumers. I am not saying they cannot make money but every year it is well above RM100 million – RM1.2 billion. Surely they can afford to be generous since they are already billionaire to give back to consumers 50% of the profit.

Why is no-one curbing the monopoly of these elites? My old man and Mahathir are already old enough to enter the next world , they really do not need millions to buy a comfortable palace there. Plus Najib and Rosmah are now active partners. So the Government insistence on the license issue is to make sure only they can make the money and that is one way of controlling the people in the next election.
