Why do our govt. always compare fuel prices with oil importing countries like S'pore,Thai,Indo & V'nam etc

Is the government being ‘stupid’ for repeatedly saying that our new petrol retail price of RM2.70 is low when compared to other countries in the region.


As a raw oil producing nation, Malaysia should be compared with other oil exporters such as UAE (RM1.19 per litre), Egypt (RM1.03 per litre), Kuwait (RM0.67 per litre), Saudi Arabia (RM0.38 per litre), Nigeria (RM0.32 per litre) and Venezuala (RM0.16 per litre).

This current govt. has really add hardship to the lower income let alone those who is jobless....
