When I read this news from NST online I didn’t know they take immediate effective. When my mom called me, I thought it was my credit card problem again.
Thus, I left work early and to find out was the news true, as I was able to pay by credit card when I pumped petrol this morning.
When I went to Caltex, I saw all the notices showing CASH SAHAJA / CASH ONLY, my hearth immediately sunk. I just wonder, will this burden lots of citizens? And how many can pay RM50 for only few kilometers? And how many will have good saving plans like what elf had commented in my other post.

Hi Liang Mui, honestly, that's not a problem in KL, as KL public transport is so good. But to Penang, this gotta be improved. Among all, still prefer Singapore's public transport. Have nothing to worry.
Car pool? No lar, I still driving alone. Just 10 minutes drive to factory mah. Furthermore I start working at 7.30am. Too early to go and pick up the rest. Nobody stay nearby my place also. Those stay in main land will car pool lah, I guess...
