Good evening to everybody tuning in tonight!! First we’ll have a brief recap of today’s big headline. So it’s official; as of 2400 hours tonight prices of the RON 95 petrol and diesel shall increased by another 20 cents (Malaysian Ringgit, if you wondered). Long before the official announcements were made the news had already spread across all social media mediums (Facebook, Twitter etc.)
*******************************STATIC*******************************
First are the Horde. Angry Horde. People whose aim is just to tell others how pissed they are. Some were regurgitating past promises made by prominent leaders about NOT raising fuel prices. The others were battering the country for blatantly placing heavier burdens on the rakyat just to make good on a promise to give out cash freebies to everybody, and yes, everybody means everybody with a Malaysian IC (get my point?)
Then we have the Optimists. Mind you, they are pissed as well. But instead of being pissed at the inevitable or harbour toxic resentment against those in power, these people are clamouring to nearby petrol stations trying to get that one last tank of pre-increment fuel before the clock strikes midnight. Though probably ain’t as long as the line waiting outside McDonalds to purchase Happy Meals that came with those HUGELY popular Minions figurine(yes, pun intended).
Lastly we have the “Mohists”; The Indifferent and The Floaters:
The Indifferent don’t really have a say. Prices (not only fuel) fluctuate up and down and things are way beyond their control. They can only continue striving and working their ass off to make ends meet. Those who were lucky enough to get to work legally can make it through the day without much fuss. Those less unfortunate that were trafficked illegally would have far less to live with. With prices destined to rise, inflation to kick in, and with no income increment to check with, these people are doomed to resort to any means of survival, even the most unimaginable.
As for The Floaters. Well, they make do with everything just as usual. Yeah fuel prices has only ever go up and seldom go down, but they count their blessings. They have enough, materialistically and intellectually, to keep their heads above the water most of the time. They float on the borders of water and air, living between the hot and the cold. They will survive, provided that they are diligent enough.

And now looking at these prospectively…owh hei, who do we have here? Let’s hear an applause for The Game Poachers!! How glad of you to join us!! Now would you kindly illumine us about the situation we have here?? *whisper* Let’s just call you Poachie, eh?? *whisper*
********POACHIE CLEARS THROAT********
Let’s start with the Horde. They can just shout or say what they want. They’re just a bunch of adolescents trying to be vocal or stand up for something. These people just want to feel that they have somehow contributed to the community, mainly through the social media, well sometimes through demonstrations and rallies. But to be frank this hasn’t been really working; they are all talk and no work. The Horde isn’t something I will lose sleep over. You clamp them down, but not completely; purposely leak something for them to exploit. Allow them to build resistance, i.e. Facebook Groups, LGBT Movements etc. Once in a while allow them rallies and demonstrations. But since it’s deliberated you can always be prepared to contain any fallout. That should keep them busy and not create any bigger fuss.
Next are The Optimists. They are like colony of ants attracted to spots with sugar, bees to where flowers are.You just have to give them a little preview, or sneak peek of some big policy you’re going trash out later. It doesn’t have to be loads,; even a speck of sugar can get the whole ant colony excited. If you’re lucky enough you can actually make tonnes out of this i.e. spread a rumour that bread prices are soaring, I can guarantee that the Optimists will come frantically stocking in flour. If you’re smart enough to stockpile lots of flour prior to this then you’ll definitely have to buy me some booze and boobs *perverted laugh *
And lastly the Mohists; It’s really love-hate to me.
Let’s start with The Indifferent. They are there for a reason. Everybody hates them, yet everybody needs them. You can’t really pressed out much from them. But if you give them just enough (sometimes barely enough if you have a tight purse), they will work their assess off for you!! They are really a dedicated bunch, working 80-90 hours a week for the least amount of output.That’s what I call efficiency!!! Every Capitalists’ American Dream - minimum input for maximum output!!
Then we have the Floaters. I ABSOLUTELY hate them!! Detest them, if I must say. These people don’t contribute much; they can’t and won’t spend much glitters. But they would demand for more if the Horde’s feeble campaign gains momentum, then they can be quite a headache. They really are a troublesome bunch.They think they are the class honours and would so believe that they are entitled to the privileges and luxury that us Poachers have. Not in a million years!! What we have and own today came with a heavy price, founded on bloodshed and built with risks of death and agony.
And yes, if you ever wondered, or perhaps you have already realised by now…

WE ACTUALLY OWN ALL OF THIS AND WE RUN THE WHOLE GOD DAMNED SHOW!!!
