fuel price has been soaring rapidly recently. i find it near madness as to how drivers are going to keep up with it.going forward, i reckon we should resort to more environmentally friendly methods of commuting: cycling and running to work.
creating shower facilities at the work place would save more money for most of us in the long run and running/cycling definitely would yield favourable health benefits. in addition to all that, we lessen the air pollution in this country.
only brickbat: government earns less from road tax, gst and erp.
with lesser singaporeans travelling to jb, it'll ease quite abit of the traffic jam at the checkpoints. that might help contain spending within singapore and yield some economical benefits for us in the long term.
the ban was not singapore initiated, not within our control. taking it positively, singapore must learn to depend on its own. rising fuel prices affect the entire world, not just us. it's not surprising that each country will have to protect themselves.
to the oil-producing countries, it just fattens their pockets by multitudes. the rich becomes richer, the poor, poorer - the widening of disparity gap. maybe one of these days, a movement can be started worldwide to reduce the use of petrol. give up your cars. walk, run or cycle to commute. resort to rustic ways of generating energy. cut use of electricity. maybe only such drastic decrease in demand of fuel, can we create an impact to curb rising fuel prices.
