Here are the hot news in Malaysia as of 12:00pm today. One of the hottest news today is about the reduction of the fuel price. The Malaysian government have reduced the fuel price following the trend of the global fuel price. Starting today, the RON 97 has dropped from RM 2.45 to RM 2.30 per liter. RON 92 and Diesel is now RM 2.20 per liter.
Despite the reduced price, many people feel that the it will have little or even no impact to the current situation in the country as the price of good, unfortunately, did not go down along with the fuel. That is the bad part as these people would increase the price of goods when the price of fuel goes up but are very reluctant to drop it once the fuel price has dropped.
This is one of the hottest news in Malaysia at the moment. It is about a Bollywood actor that was awarded the title of Datuk by the state of Malacca, which is equivalent to a knighthood in Britain.
Most people in Malaysia based on news and blogs, do not agree with the award and many feel that the award should have been given to Malaysians that are more deserving than him. To make the matter worse, which many feel and I agree, it was an insult to the country when Shah Rukh Khan himself, could not be bothered to turn up and receive the award.
Have you ever wondered how safe your neighborhood is? Can you safely leave your doors or your cars unlocked? Mariano Pasik from Buenos Aires came up with the bicycle test to see how long an unchained bicycle last before someone comes and takes it away.
Just by using hidden cameras and cheap bicycles as bait, the Argentine publicist set out to gauge crime in different neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The longer it takes for the bike to be stolen the safer the area, is his hypothesis.
I could still remember the good old days when things can be left safely unlocked or unchained in my neighborhood. Life was not as affluent as it used to be now but we had enough to eat and to wear. May be those those days people believe more strongly in God and punishments as compared to now.
