malaysiakini and the NEVER ENDING TOLLS

Maybe it is just part and parcel of the NEP(Never Ending Policies/Parasites) but even in a global recession, we are going to see a further escalation of the highway tolls.
Some months back there was a great fanfare that the toll agreements were to be made public but thus far few MSM have provided any critical analysis of how the tolls affect the cost of living.
So this malaysiakini article headed Toll hike for 5 highways on Sunday is really bad news.
Many Malaysians are already struggling to meet ends meet and the so-called caring government allows such an increase that will surely raise the costs of all goods.
Of course since the barrel of oil is now about US$40, the price of petrol should be reduced by at least another RM0.30 per litre.
