Of Petrol Hikes

I went to Brunei.

This is what amazed me.

The Government.

In my uncle's van...

Uncle: Need to pump petrol.

Uncle: *drove to petrol station*

Uncle: *wound down the window*

Uncle: Excuse me. Petrol Lima Ringgit.

Me: Eh?!?

Me: *faint.

Then I watched the metre.

Well... You know how as a kid you'd watch fascinated as the metre runs when your dad pumps petrol... Then as you grow, you still do the same, but you now watch in horror as the Ringgit metre says RM 50 and the Litre metre says 15 or so.

But, in Brunei. The Ringgit and Litre metres exhange roles.
