For the fuel price hike even at 10% it will affect business. Those that will get hit 1st are those providing transportation and haulage. Follow by those plastic manufacturer's since making plastic needs petroleum then is those company making polyester yarn like Recron.
10% might seems small if you are dealing in small amount but when you go into big amount then you will feel that 10% is a huge sum.
The problem we are facing is that citizen is not given a better alternatives on mode of transportation because our railway coverage is just not up to par. In KL center you still can only take the rail to a certain places but out of the city center. You are probably need to take bus or taxi. Our rail system is just not thought out properly and the bus route also not every where is covered. Just like the place I live no bus service. Seriously, we need to really re-look into our rail system routing. Other than train between each state we need to have train that provide service to different towns.
Example la:
Main station: Seremban
Sub station:
Senawang
Kuala Pilah
Gemas
Mantin
Nilai
Kuala Klawang
Bahau
Port Dickson
Jelebu
Tampin
Rembau
Seremban2
Ampangan
Sikamat
Pedas

Yeah public transportation needs to keep improving. If cannot get railway/MRT system, then at least the buses have to be a lot more frequent with much more coverage to fill in the gaps.
Taxi is also another one that MUST be improved SIGNIFICANTLY. Malaysia taxi is just the worse compared to other countries in this region.

TR, u mentioned that the main business that will be effected will be the transportation industry,

I think with the exception of Internet/online businesses. EVERYTHING requires transportation/logistics. No? Everything is affected by fuel hike. Right down to your plate of roti canai... You think the flour magically appear in the shop? hahaha.
Government give you RM500, take RM5000 from you. This is what you call give you a candy, take your whole candy factory.

They can come up with all sort of reasons and excuses to increase the price. Ya, say the seller that prices of vegetables increases according to the weather at times due to shortage of stocks available but then, will the price ever go down after that? That's the question that we all want to know.
People say what goes up must come down...but Prices went up hardly comes down even the prices of fuel had already went down previously at a time and we still see the prices of food, product, services and etcs are still maintaining at that price.
So, their explanations are totally bullshit to me. The more you explain, the more you exposed your intentions on price hike. Cuz those explanations sounds silly if only they read what they said again.

Already packed for me when I was asking half way before I get to ask the price so no choice but to take. He is smart, he keep telling us that he sells small is 8 pieces and big is 16 pieces.
We asked twice how do you sell it? He didnt mention the price. So, we were thinking it wont cost much so just tell him small one...when I ask how much? He said RM10...me and my gf stunned and look at each other for a moment. Paid him and left...
That stall is going to be boycott for good. Kepong Sunday Pasar Malam. Taste like shit and yet cost RM10.
Lesson learnt especially the fuel price increased, better ask the price before buying.
