Isu Harga Minyak Naik 20sen & The Rat Race
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
Hangat sangat isu minyak naik harga ni. It is such a nightmare to many of us Malaysian citizens. Especially to those who are earning fixed income, and those who are in the category of middle-class and lower.
Di timeline twitter aku, terasa sangat bahang selepas diumumkan harga minyak naik 20sen di berita TV haritu. Hot betul. Aku yang membaca timeline twitter and facebook ni sedikit sebanyak terasa macam nak join sekali giving comments about the issue. 20sen babe!
Selepas minyak naik harga, mulalah segala macam benda pun naik harga. Tiket bas naik RM2, harga makanan, semua naik, produk Herbalife je tak naik harga. Hahah.
Aku takde plan nak kritik tentang Najib or whatsoever. No. Walaupun as I said, dalam hati ni memang meluap-luap rasa nak kritik sebab sedikit sebanyak kitorang pun affected (definitely, sebab aku belum lah kaya tahap jutawan lagi kan). Full tank Honda Accord naik rm13 beb. Huhu.
Sekarang ni kalau kita merungut pun tiada guna. As an ordinary citizen, things are just out of our control. We could update facebook status voicing out loudly that we do not agree with the price increase. We could criticize the government out loud on twitter, but could we really change the decision? I would say NO. Unless anda adalah orang macam Dr Maza, memang orang kenal, suara anda mungkin didengari oleh Najib huhu.
ISu kenaikan harga minyak bukan benda baru. Sebelum ni dah pernah jadi dah pun. Time harga naik, semua kecoh bising maki hamun. Tapi lepas tu semua terpaksa diam sebab no one can really change it. Then pilihanraya still jugak undi orang yang sama yang memutuskan untuk naikkan harga minyak. Syukurlah..Malaysia masih aman...Baru petang tadi ayah aku share gambar orang India kena tembak dekat kawasan rumah aku tinggal, polis bgtau suruh berjaga-jaga and jangan keluar rumah kalau boleh. Syukur.. Malaysia masih aman. Kan?
(Tadi kata tak nak kritik..tengok-tengok dah 3 perenggan kritik jugak kan hahah)
Dear readers, please be careful. Dont be trapped into one of the life's biggest trap: The Rat Race. Most people work so hard for little money, clinging to the illusion of job security, and looking forward to a three-week vacation each year and maybe a skimpy pension after 45 years of service.
As Robert Kiyosaki wrote in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad,
Ramai orang yang suka claim "I'm not interested in money", and yet they will still go out and work at a job for 8 hours a day. That's a denial of truth.
Minyak naik 20sen, then what do we do? Just let it be? NO. Complain? BIG NO. So what then?
Jangan salah faham, aku bukan sombong or berlagak kaya, as if aku tak affected langsung by the price increase..Aku bukan nak jadi macam ni:
Tidak sama sekali. Aku tahu kat luar sana ramai yang menderita dengan kenaikan harga minyak. Bukan sebab isi minyak full tank makin mahal, tapi sebab semua harga barang naik just because of this 20cents. Ada yang kata lagi lambat kahwin sbb minyak naik 20sen. Yang papa kedana tu lagi la..macam mana diorang hidup agaknya? Allah protect all of us please..ameen.
So kalau government buat decision untuk naikkan gaji semua pekerja 100% pun, many will still be trapped in the rat race. Gaji naik - spending naik = struggle financially jugak. Sama je. So instead of asyik merungut and memaksa keadaan untuk berubah, apa kata kita sendiri lakukan perubahan dari dalam diri kita. Kan? ;)
So based on my reading from the best book I've ever read (so far) Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki..here are my recommendations regarding the issue of harga minyak naik 20sen:
p/s: Buku Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki ni highly recommended to EVERYONE especially secondary school students and above. SERIOUSLY BUKU NI BEST.

| this is the rat race |
As Robert Kiyosaki wrote in his book Rich Dad Poor Dad,
People's lives are forever controlled by two emotions: fear and greed. Fear of being without money motivates us to work hard, and then once we get the paycheck, greed or desire starts us thinking about all the wonderful things money can buy. Then the pattern of get up-go to work-pay bills-get up-go to work- pay bills is then set. Offer them more money, and they continue the cycle by increasing their spending. THIS IS THE RAT RACE.

So based on my reading from the best book I've ever read (so far) Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki..here are my recommendations regarding the issue of harga minyak naik 20sen:
- Jadilah tuan kepada duit. Bukan hamba duit. The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance. Bukan sebab government, bukan sebab orang kaya jahat gila duit main rasuah jatuhkan orang miskin. TAK. Bila kita jadi hamba duit, kita mudah terperangkap dalam the rat race. It is within US. Fahamkan apa itu duit. How it works, how it multiplies, and belajar untuk master the power of money. Be a financial literate. Dunia takkan berubah untuk kita. Kita yang perlu berubah untuk ubah dunia kita.
- Do not complain. Eventhough you feel like wanting to voice out your dissatisfaction about things around you. Just keep it to yourself. Complainers never produce. Producers never complain. Lets be productive, change ourself to be better, and use whatever we have to make the world better.
- If you are still dissatisfied with this 20cents issue, cut your expenses OR you can earn extra income. Bolehlah contact aku kalau nak earn extra income if gaji anda sekarang tidak mampu menampung keperluan dan kehendak anda dan keluarga hehe :D Boleh baca cerita part time business di sini: http://ladyship-atie.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-best-part-time-business.html

saya kurang setuju.
pada saya, memang la betul ada yang x puas hati psal duit minyak ni.
tapi tgklah gaya hidup rakyat malaysia terutama melayu. kalau ada ja duit mula beli kereta import. walaupun dengan riba, nak juga beli. walaupun kalau harga minyak x naik pun mereka tidak mampu.
pendek kata, sedar dirilah. saya bukan kata pada penulis, jgn salah faham. saya ckp utk semua termasuk diri sendiri.
kalau x mampu beli kereta mahal, pakai motor sudahla atau kereta kelisa atau kancil. bila jadi masalah mcm naik minyak ke apa, x de la teruk sangat.
saya naik kereta kelisa saja. hidup biasa2 saja. alhamdulillah. kita patut bersyukur hidup di malaysia. walaupun harga minyak naik, tp cubalah banding dengan negara2 lain. kita patut bersyukur kepada allah dan mendoakan kesejahteraan pemimpin kita. kerana mereka islam.
saya cuma mahu menggesa supaya kita menjadi rakyat yang bersyukur kepada allah.
assalamualaikum:)
