Click on the above link. It is an article that is worth spending your time to read. I open the floor for discussion. I had highlighted points that we should be aware of.
"以美国为例，我们卖给她的是以我国汽油津贴制度之下，低于国际石油价位的附加物品（含低估的国人工资薪金），而向美国买回来的是以她近于国际石油价位的附加服务和物品，确实倒贴他人，资助他国发展。因此，低油价压着各个社会生活成本和收入所得，自欺欺人出售他国所谓大马制造 “有竞争性”的廉价产品，低估国货应当原有成本和更高的回收收入所得，无形中压迫老百姓应当的收入，即又流失与国际接轨高水平生活的契机，不是明智之举! "
I totally agree with it because the money for subsidizing the petrol comes from the taxation of the people. We (whole Malaysian) are indirectly contributing to the production cost of all the products made in Malaysia.
" 如今大马95号一升为马币1.80，其它国家没有汽油津贴政策下95号汽油一升为大约马币3.20。大马2006年GDP国民人均所得7千余美金（而2007的大马官方还没公布告示），按照大马国情，GDP成长率为4-6%来计算，那2009年GDP国民人均所得为7000 x 1.06 (2007年) x 1.06 (2008年) x 1.045 (2009年) = 美金8200。 如再加上恢复接近国际原油价位的原则，以95号一升为马币3.20来计算，那大马国民人均所得的付出成本应当为3.20/1.80 x 8200 = 美金14600。这一计算就轻易把大马归纳入“中高收入”国家行列？其实这算法，真正意义是反映出大马国货真实的原国际成本和国人应当的收入所得。"
''所以，把汽油价位回归到国际水平石油价位是个转型，也是走入高收入国家计划之一步，是必然要走的路线。我想，随着油价“正常态”后，万物之价也随着上涨，这时国民应认知事理，百姓应对水平也要优化，把竞争能力有所提高，工资薪金也要逐步加快上调以反映国民更优化的竞争能力。''
I understand that it would be a tough time for us when we carry out the total removal of subsidies for fuel and gas especially for low income group (Price of goods will shoot up). However, we have to go through it. Nowadays, we enjoy low price of goods because they are all heavily subsidized. We don’t pay for the ‘real’ price but the government pays for us. Subsidy is not helping us because the government’s money actually comes from us. Those who enjoy the benefits are people who produce and export products using subsidized petrol. Agree?
