From www.nst.com.my: IPOH: Umno Wanita chief Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz took a swipe at Pakatan Rakyat for remaining silent over its promise to reduce the price of petrol.
"There is not even a blip. The prices of things have gone up, how can they not say anything?" she asked, claiming that Pakatan Rakyat did nothing to fight inflation, despite heaping blame on the Barisan Nasional during the general election.

I think what Rafidah has said is very relevant. We want to know what is Pakatan Rakyat's plan regarding fuel subsidies. Otherwise, this will come back to haunt PR in the next election/by-election as a failure to keep its promise.

Rafidah knows very well that this is beyond the control of Pakatan Rakyat's state government. She's just raising this issue to win some political milege, if there's any.

In the event that Pakatan Rakyat did raise this issue with federal govt. she will be the 1st to slam and say that this is not in their jurisdiction.. Which gives the rakyat no choice but to boot out BN federal govt. And I hope this will be sooner than later...

Goodbye rafidah.. we will sure miss your 'drama minggu ini' tactics, but it will sure save this country a few billion ringgits...
