The government does not only consider the crude oil price but also other costs, such as for refinery and the processing, to determine the pump prices of fuel.
“It also has to calculate the margin for the industry of 19.54 sen per litre for petrol companies and 12.19 sen per litre for petrol stations, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Shahrir, (No more calling him Datuk for me. If you notice I seldom refer any politician as Datuk, except Datuk Jessica Alba) it seems like you have completely gone over to the Dark Side. I used to respect you, as one of few UMNO members who has some intergrity and balls. Now you are spouting twisted, retarded bullshits for Malaysians to digest?

Shah Rukh Khan’t come to receive Datukship
MALACCA: Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan will not be able to receive his Datukship on Nov 29 due to his busy schedule.
It is learnt that state officials here are now trying to arrange for an alternative date.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said he had got wind of it but refused to comment further on the matter.
“I understand it has been postponed. For any details, you will have to ask the State Secretary,” he told reporters after chairing the state executive council meeting yesterday.
Shah Rukh Khan was among 77 people conferred the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM) which carries the title Datuk in conjunction with the 70th birthday of Yang di-Pertua Negri Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob last month.
The award drew mixed reaction from the public, including several NGOs.
The idea to confer the award on the actor was mooted by former Finance Minister Tun Daim Zainuddin with the Chief Minister defending the move.
State Secretary Datuk Wira Omar Kaseh, who was appointed to make arrangements for the actor’s visit here, could not be reached for comment.

Warning: A long and wordy post. Brace yourself.
I had a long teh tarik session with Noktah Hitam and Aeropama on Friday night. It is a normal thing now, hanging out from 10pm - 4am. We bitched about many things that came to mind and oogled at girls at the same time. (yours truly did, not sure about those two.. I know they checked out a ladyboy sitting on the next table at one time :P)
One of the many topics we talked about was ‘English or Bahasa Melayu as medium for Science and Maths?’ Yes, we talked about such things over teh tarik, because we need to pretend we are smart people and care for the nation. We also talked about Nora Danish, Emilda Rosmila and cheongsamlover’s blog but I will spare you the unnecessary gossips. (We can always arrange for another teh tarik session for that)
This topic has been going around for so long, often politicised and used by self-serving politicians to fish for votes rather than serving the nation’s interes and looking at the bigger picture. Our fickle minded government and its famous policy of flip floping to gain popularity has caused many problems to students and parents. The government should stop toying with the future of the nation by experimenting with such important policy, treating students as guinea pigs. (Hear that Hishamuddin Hussein?)
I am agnostic on this issue. Both English and Bahasa Melayu language has its own advantages and disadvantages. I am actually advocating for finding ways to improve its implementation instead of doing another U-turn. Allow me to generalise here, by making blanket statements for both proponents and opponents for English or Bahasa Melayu as medium for teaching Science and Maths.

Abdullah: ‘Anyone can be PM’
PUTRAJAYA: It is possible for anyone from a minority group to be a nation’s leader, even in Malaysia, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Badawi.
Now, remember Zaid Ibrahim remarks over Ketuanan Melayu (Malay supremacy) and the reactions from Umno politicians?

Abdul Razak Baginda acquitted
S Pathmawathy | Oct 31, 08 10:00am
The Shah Alam High Court today acquitted political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda of abetting the alleged murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu.
Justice Mohd Zaki Md Yasin ruled that the prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case against Abdul Razak.
The court however ordered Chief Inspector Azilah Hadri, 32 and Corporal Sirul Azha Umar, 37, who are members of the Special Action Force (UTK), to enter their defence to the charge of murder.
Both decided to testify under oath. They will be taking the stand on Nov 10.
The prosecution is expected to file an appeal against Abdul Razak’s acquittal.
Altantuya was allegedly shot before her body was blown up with explosives two years ago.
Azilah and Sirul are jointly charged with murdering Altantuya, 28, at a location between Lot 12843 and Lot 16735 in Mukim Bukit Raja, Selangor between 10am on Oct 19, 2006 and 1am the following day.
Abdul Razak Baginda, 47, was charged with abetting them. He is a known confidante of Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, having worked on government arms procurement projects while the latter was defence minister.
The prosecution closed its case against the trio on June 23 after 151 days of testimony from 84 witnesses.
An elated Abdul Razak left the court with his wife and daughter at about 10.10am.
Refusing to address the journalists who cornered him, Abdul Razak merely said: “I just want to go home”.

Why I am not surprised? The outcome of this case, already predicted by many before the court reached its verdict. Sceptics couldn’t help but to think that the whole thing is nothing but a well written script, with spoilers for each episodes and ending easily available for ‘early screening’.
