Yes.. it's really taking a toll on everyone. If you've read Cool's post on the
Malaysian fuel prices going up 40% effectively today, you can just imagine how that's going to affect every industry here. I won't be surprised if Pos Malaysia revises their shipping rates yet again.. And if they do, AsiaJam will have to revise ours again too
My sister was telling me she is no longer taking the car out on weekends. Sadly though, public transportation in Malaysia is appalling.

I wonder about planes, oil is the best way to fuel them...or is there an alternative? Could it possibly run on solar power effectively as well? o_o

Pos Malaysia too. AsiaJam was just too stubborn but we've finally yielded.. The hikes are just toooo much to bear.
I don't know about solar power but I read somewhere once that there is an alternative energy for planes but the reason why it's not being used is because it has conflicting interests with BIG oil companies. I don't know if that alternative energy would be cheaper though.
If it's any consolation, I read that
Airbus pledges to make greener planes by 2020.
