Of fuel price and underage marriage

I woke up early (again) this morning. After showering time, I turned on the TV and watched the morning news (something that I never did when Astro, cable TV, was still around :P ). Time to feed myself with some news other than the winning of Obama.

Indonesia finance minister said,”Indonesia will cut retail prices of premium gasoline by more than 6% from December 1 to ease inflation and spur economic growth.” The price will be cut by IDR.500 (five US cents) a liter, from IDR.6.000 becomes IDR.5.500 (claimed to be the cheapest one in Asia). But… Diesel and kerosene prices will not be altered. -__-”

That means, the price of premium gasoline will be the same with diesel, IDR.5.500 / $0.5 per liter. Wtf. Ain’t diesel supposed to be cheaper than premium gasoline one? This is not fair for us, the diesel user. :(

Then, there is this shocking news. A 43 years old man married a 12 years old girl (to be his 2nd wife)~! Double wtf. I’ve heard this news from my Mum’s worker and I can’t believe it is for real. Crazee..

That is him, holding a book that he claimed to be his basis of marrying the little girl. I read that he is a rich businessman, a billionaire.

Why do I feel like the world is getting crazier huh?

    Had to comment about your gas prices… are you seriously paying $0.5/litre??? In Canada, we’re currently paying about $0.95/litre which has dropped drastically from the $1.20 or so we were paying a few weeks ago!

    As for the guy who married a 12 y/o… personally, I think that’s just sick, wrong, shouldn’t be allowed… poor girl!!!
